Stephane Ogier Cote-Rotie "Mon Village" 2020
This is a classic Northern Rhone full-bodied heavy-hitter made to go the distance in the cellar. Aromas of violet, smoke, fennel, and concentrated black fruit invite one into a palate of saturated plum, blackberry, warming spices, and a subtle classic Cote-Rotie whiff of bacon. All of that is just the tip of the iceberg, as this bottling has depth and structure and will reveal layer after layer with open time. This bottle is ready to drink in 2025, but will be at its peak around 2030-2045. We recommend decanting for one to three hours and serving with the hearty and savory roasted or stewed dishes, especially lamb, tomato, or eggplant.
97% syrah, 3% viognier. 18 months in oak, 30% new oak. Cote-Rotie, Rhone Valley, France.
