Domaine Ogier
In 1982, after years of selling the grapes from his C么te-R么tie vineyards, Michel Ogier started to make and bottle his own wines. He was joined at the domaine by his son St茅phane in 1998, who introduced reduced yields and started a negocient arm of the business. They now farm 16 hectares in C么te-R么tie, Saint-Jospeh and C么tes-du-Rh么ne, with the emphasis on freshness and precision rather than brute force. Fermentations are largely in stainless steel and elevage for the Syrahs lasts 18 months in oak barrel.
