Domaine Stéphane Ogier Côte-Rôtie "Village" 2022

A Côte-Rôtie red wine made from Syrah by Domaine Stéphane Ogier. It is blended from several lieux-dits of the Côte Brune and Côte Blonde, taking balance and elegance from the first and body and tannin from the iron-rich second. It is vinified with 20% whole bunches, cold macerated in temperature-controlled steel without selected yeasts, then aged for 18 months in oak barrels, 20% new. Bright ruby red, it is intense and deep on the nose with forest fruit, dry spice, olive, mint and a light cured-meat note. The palate is delicate, with moderate alcohol, good freshness and elegant tannin. It suits pork, beef, veal and grilled meat.
