Story
Stéphane Ogier
Ampuis · Rhône · France
The Ogier family has been cultivating vines in Ampuis for over seven generations, but it wasn't until the 1980s that they began vinifying their own grapes. Stéphane Ogier joined the family estate in 1997, working alongside his father, Michel, before taking over in 2003. Considered the face of the Northern Rhône’s new generation, Stéphane has continued to expand the estate, acquiring new parcels and experimenting with innovative techniques. His time studying in Beaune influenced his approach, bringing a Burgundian perspective to the region’s terroir.
“He works with multiple lieux-dits, vinifying each separately and using oak sparingly to let the unique characteristics of each site shine through.”
Some of his wines are released as single lieu-dit bottlings, while others are blended, carefully selecting barrels to reflect both his vision and the vintage. The resulting wines are elegant, refined, and expressive, truly reflecting the unique terroir from which they come.
