Estate
Few Rhône Valley producers can compare to the history and pedigree of Ogier. The family name dates to 800 A.D. when “Ogier the Dane” came to fight with Charlemagne’s soldiers in the Basque country, and on his way back home, settled in southeastern France’s Massif Central region. Antoine Ogier, a distant descendant of Ogier the Dane, entered the wine business in 1859, purchasing a cooperage and establishing “OGIER” as a wine producer in the nearby Rhône Valley.
Food pairing
Pairs well with tasty poultry, sausages, and meat.
Tasting notes
In Crozes, our Syrahs must express a subtle bouquet of violet and liquorice with the right balance between fruit and tannins. On the palate one finds notes of fresh fruits and graphite for a very concentrated wine where the tannic structure melts into the wine in roundness and fruit.
Technical data
