NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Michel & Stéphane Ogier Mon Village Côte-Rôtie is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Côte-Rôtie appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley of France.This wine is a blend of Syrah and a small percentage of Viognier, which adds a touch of elegance and aromatic complexity.
On the nose, this Côte-Rôtie reveals enticing aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and violets, accompanied by hints of smoked bacon, black pepper, and a subtle touch of vanilla. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity that provides a lively freshness.
The flavors on the palate mirror the aromas, with ripe black fruits taking center stage, complemented by notes of cured meat, black olives, and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of black fruit and savory spices.
Michel & Stéphane Ogier Mon Village Côte-Rôtie is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for several years, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve.

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
