Stphane Ogier is one of the names that changed how people think about the Northern Rhne. Raised in Ampuis, he brought a Burgundian mindset to Cte-Rtie, carving the famed hill into micro-parcels and farming each with obsessive care. ‘Mon Village’ is his Cte-Rtie blend drawing from both the Cte Brune and the Cte Blonde, the two faces of the appellation. Expect the hallmark Ogier precision: gentle extraction, judicious whole clusters, framing oak, and that classic Northern Rhne interplay of dark fruit, smoke and savory spice. A fantastic way into a producer better known from auction catalogs than store shelves.
