Ogier Héritages Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2022

Ogier Héritages Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2022
Southern Rhône Valley, France

Winemaking
Ogier has been producing Rhône wines since 1859, and the Héritages range celebrates the classic regional style. This 2022 Côtes du Rhône is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, sourced from sun-drenched vineyards on stony, limestone soils. Fermentation and maturation in stainless steel preserve the wine’s freshness and fruit-forward character, while a touch of time on lees enhances texture and spice.

Bouquet
Expressive notes of ripe raspberry, blackberry, and plum, laced with hints of garrigue herbs, black pepper, and subtle earthiness.

Palate
Medium-bodied and silky, with supple tannins and generous red and dark fruit. Layers of spice and savoury depth lead into a smooth, dry finish. A lively, authentic expression of the southern Rhône.

Food Pairing
Perfect with roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled sausages, or ratatouille. An ideal everyday red that pairs well with a wide range of dishes.

Cellaring
Best enjoyed young and vibrant, but will drink well over the next 3–5 years.

Interesting Fact
The name Héritages reflects Ogier’s dedication to preserving the traditions and terroirs of the Rhône Valley—balancing classic winemaking with modern finesse.
