Stéphane joined the family estate in ’97, working alongside his father Michel, before taking over in 2003.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeralded as the face of the Northern Rhône’s new generation, Stéphane continues acquiring new parcels and trying new techniques. He brings a Burgundian approach to the region’s terroir from his studies in Beaune. He works with multiple lieux-dits, vinifying each separately and using oak sparingly. This allows the characteristics of each to show. He releases many wines as single lieu-dit bottlings later in the year and others he blends, selecting from different barrels to build a style representative of both his vision and the vintage. Stéphane’s latest investment includes vineyards in Rasteau, Cairanne, and Plan de Dieu in the Southern Rhône, bringing his total land-ownings there up to 50 hectares, all destined for his Côtes-du-Rhône offering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis rich-but-fresh southern Rhône red is blend is of about 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah from vines substantially grown in Violès on Le Plan de Dieu supplemented by some from Visan. Soils are a mixture of limestone and blue clay. Average age of the vine, a very heartening 30 to 50 years. Vines are hand-harvested before being sorted in both vineyard and cellar. Ruby in colour. Meaty and very much more an old-vine Grenache than a generic Côtes du Rhône. It has an admirable freshness as well as all a rich, ripe but subtle fruit with a little fine tannin on the finish.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stephane Ogier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43187992100982,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/1679\/6476\/files\/IMG-2933.jpg?v=1776916796","url":"https:\/\/paradisegrapevine.com\/products\/syrah-toni","provider":"Paradise Grapevine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
