2019 Syrah 'La Rosine', Stephane Ogier

A wine you simply must not overlook. Produced from vines just north of Vienne and not a million miles from from Cote-Rotie's boundary line, here is an immediate expression of succulent syrah created by one of France's most exciting and dynamic young winemakers. Wild strawberry, truffle, spice and sweet cranberry flavours flood the palate.

When Stephane Ogier took the reigns of his family owned estate in Cote-Rotie, his influence on the wines was immediate. A more forward thinking, modern approach to production including a reflection on oak regime and the introduction of vine destemming to name but two, repositioned this impressive estate to the highest eschelons of Northern Rhone growers. Adored by Robert Parker, with the delivery of numerous 100 point scores in recent times, Stephane has placed an indelible mark on the future of wine produced in and around Cote-Rotie.
