2019 Le Temps est Venu Côtes du Rhône Villages, Stephane Ogier

A refreshing, strawberry-tinged grenache and syrah blend drawn two-thirds from Plan de Dieu and one-third Visan. It is medium bodied, supple and generous, offering fine polish and impressive precision for a wine of such humble origins.

The Ogier touch here cannot be ignored.  This is exceptional value to boot When Stephane Ogier took the reigns of his family owned estate in Cote-Rotie, his influence on the wines was immediate. A more forward thinking, modern approach to production including a reflection on oak regime and the introduction of vine destemming to name but two, repositioned this impressive estate to the highest eschelons of Northern Rhone growers. Adored by Robert Parker, with the delivery of numerous 100-point scores in recent times, Stephane has placed an indelible mark on the future of wine produced in and around Cote-Rotie. We are thrilled to have secured limited allocations of a number of his wines for your enjoyment
