Perched above the Rhône River in Ampuis, Domaine Stéphane Ogier has risen to international acclaim as one of the most dynamic estates in the northern Rhône. Known for elevating Côte-Rôtie to new heights, Ogier brings a Burgundian sensitivity to terroir and a precise, modern approach to every wine he crafts. In recent years, his work in the southern Rhône has been just as compelling, focusing on wines that express brightness, balance, and drinkability without sacrificing complexity.
In the glass, the 2023 Temps Est Venu greets the nose with ripe blackberry, black raspberry, and loganberry, intertwined with violet, clove, rose petal, and black pepper notes. The palate is generous yet refined, featuring juicy red and black fruits layered atop silky tannins and uplifted by peppery garrigue and wild herbs. Vibrant acidity keeps the finish fresh and lingering, long, savoury, and beautifully balanced.
