2019 Côte-Rôtie Mon Village, Domaine Stéphane Ogier

The Ogiers own 10 hectares of well-appointed vines in Côte Rôtie, split into 35 different parcels. These are picked, vinified and aged separately – before being blended 18 months after harvest. In 2019, this is a wine that exudes energy and finesse, bringing together the complex patchwork that is Côte Rôtie. The nose boasts an abundance of scented black fruits, with herbs, cocoa and smoke. Palate is captivating, being full, taut and intricately woven. There is great intensity with refinement, texture being freshly silky-smooth, structure poised, and the finish long-lasting and vivacious. This is great, irresistible Côte Rôtie, which will be delicious in both the mid and long term (for drinking 2024-2035+).
