2021 Le Temps Est Venu, Côtes du Rhône, Domaine Stéphane Ogier

Ogier`s Côtes du Rhône comes from two family-owned vineyards: one in Plan de Dieu, which gives more powerful, richer styles; complementing this, freshness and structure is contributed by grapes grown at higher altitude in the Visan commune. A blend of 96% Grenache with 4% Syrah, this 2021 is bright, ruby in colour, aromas being fragrant and pure, recalling ripe strawberry, bramble fruits, with pleasing hints of garrigue herbs. The palate is full bodied, having excellent concentration, juicy, supple texture and a perfectly balanced, smooth finish.
