Domaine Stéphane Ogier : Le Temps est Venu 2024

Black pepper, blackberry and a gentle hint of pencil shavings introduce the 2024 Côtes-du-Rhône Le Temps est Venu. Medium-bodied and neatly rounded, it is already drinking well at this early stage, carrying through to a refined finish marked by spicy accents. This blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah offers plenty of bang for the buck.

Coming mostly from the Plan de Dieu in the south and based on Grenache and Syrah, the 2024 Côtes Du Rhône Les Temps Est Venu sports a ruby hue as well as a great nose of juicy red and black berry fruit intermixed with peppery garrigue and flowers. It's medium-bodied, soft, supple, and delicious on the palate, with terrific overall balance and a clean finish. Drink this undeniably delicious Southern Rhône over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2026-2032.
