WINE DESCRIPTION
Michel & Stéphane Ogier La Belle Hélène Côte-Rôtie is a premium wine that showcases the expertise of the Ogier family in producing exceptional wines. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Côte-Rôtie appellation, which is known for its steep slopes and granite soils that impart unique flavors to the wine. The vineyards are carefully tended to by the Ogier family, who use sustainable farming practices to ensure the highest quality grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, which results in a wine that is elegant, complex, and full-bodied. La Belle Hélène Côte-Rôtie is a perfect example of a classic Northern Rhône Syrah, with notes of black fruit, spice, and a long, smooth finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Côte-Rôtie from Michel & Stéphane Ogier is a delightful red with aromas of ripe blackberry and raspberry, as well as a subtle note of white pepper.The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a core of sweet dark fruit and light tannins in the background. There are also hints of spice, along with a minerality that adds complexity and depth. The finish is long and persistent, with a hint of dark chocolate and espresso. This is a truly exemplary wine, showing a perfect balance between fruit, structure, and complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Michel & Stéphane Ogier
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
