Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

Stéphane Ogier's ambition can be measured not only by the quality of his wines, but also by his new winery. A magnificent work tool for vinifying his Côte-Rôtie and Seyssuel terroirs on a parcel-by-parcel basis. Barrel vinification is mastered thanks to long maturation periods. A reliable source of excellent Northern Rhône Syrahs, prized by top sommeliers and wine merchants the world over.

About the domain :

Since 2014, Stéphane Ogier has been vinifying in an ultra-contemporary winery in Ampuis, giving free rein to his creative talent. Of the 18 hectares farmed by this estate, 3.5 hectares are located on beautiful Côte-Rôtie parcels. Stéphane joined his father Michel in 1997 after studying oenology in Beaune, from which he has retained a taste for elegance and finesse. The wines are made from partially destemmed grapes (50% whole harvest in the Cuvée Lancement). The precision of recent vintages, the rigorous selection of plot-based cuvées and the style now displayed by the wines place the domaine among the elite, and the third star is now in sight.

About the wine:

A surprisingly concentrated and textured Condrieu. It expresses notes of candied lemon, wild herbs, verbena and wild flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, with a fresh core of delicious white fruits and flowers. Concentrated and channeled, it has a textured, savory finish. Enjoy or keep.

About the wine:

Stéphane's earliest harvest ever in Condrieu, Condrieu La Combe De Malleval 2022 offers a magnificent perfume of white peach, orange blossom and white flowers, as well as a formidable sensation of minerality. Balanced, medium to full-bodied, lively and elegant, this is an absolutely incredible Viognier that has nothing to envy the other wines of the vintage.
