Domaine Stéphane Ogier : La Belle Hélène 2016

A great Côte-Rôtie wine, combining power and harmony

The property

Established for six generations in the heart of the Rhône Valley, the Ogier family stands as an essential reference in the production of great Rhône wines. With a background in viticulture and oenology, enriched by experiences in Burgundy and internationally, Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate in 1997 alongside his father, Michel Ogier. Thanks to a rigorous parcel approach and controlled yields, the estate signs characterful cuvées, praised for their precision, their finesse and their ability to express the identity of each terroir.

The vineyard

Since being taken over by Stéphane Ogier, the estate has seen its surface area grow significantly, going from 2.5 hectares in 1997 to over 20 hectares today. The vineyard extends over emblematic appellations of the Rhône Valley such as Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Condrieu and the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes, each revealing the richness of the valley's terroirs.

Blend

La Belle Hélène 2016 is a Côte-Rôtie wine made exclusively from syrah.
