Terroir & Winemaking
- Grand Cru Pedigree at an Everyday Level: Planted on steep granite slopes in Ampuis, directly adjacent to the prestigious appellations of Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. "La Rosine" is treated with the same meticulous care as Ogier's top single-vineyard Côte-Rôties, offering astounding value for Northern Rhône enthusiasts.
- Masterful Domaine Ogier Craftsmanship: Stéphane Ogier, one of Northern Rhône's most celebrated modern winemakers, uses native yeast fermentation and gentle extraction to highlight pure, aromatic fruit. Aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak barrels, the 2021 vintage highlights a cool-climate balance of black pepper, vibrant acid drive, and supple tannins.
Highlights
- 100% Syrah harvested from granite-rich slopes bordering Côte-Rôtie in the Northern Rhône Valley.
- A radiant 2021 release combining fresh blackberry fruit, black pepper spice, and floral violets.
- Crafted by Stéphane Ogier, one of Ampuis's benchmark Côte-Rôtie producers.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep, translucent ruby-purple core with bright violet reflections at the rim.
- Nose: Highly fragrant and lifted. It opens with aromas of fresh dark raspberries, wild blackberries, and crushed violets, accompanied by cracked black pepper, cured meats, and damp granite earth.
- Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully vibrant. The entry delivers a succulent wave of crunchy dark berry fruit sap that glides over fine-grained, silky tannins, concluding with a fresh, mineral-driven, pepper-tinged finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 15–16°C to focus its bright acidity and highlight its aromatic floral perfume.
- Decanting: A short 20-to-30 minute decant or aeration is recommended before serving. Best enjoyed over the next 5 to 8 years.
- Western Pairing: Herb-crusted rack of lamb, pan-seared duck breast, grilled pork chops, roasted venison, or wild mushroom tart.
- Asian Pairing: Peking duck, Five-spice roasted pork (Char Siu), Mongolian beef, or lamb skewers with cumin and chili.
