Stéphane Ogier 2019 'Les Temps est Venu' Côtes du Rhône

In contrast to many of St√©phane‚Äôs wines from the Northern Rhône that show the more serious side of the region, this wine is meant to be a joyful expression of the South. ‚ÄòThe Time Has Come‚Äô to express his personality as the eighth generation to care for the winery. From Plan de Dieu – predominantly Grenache, with some Syrah and Mourvèdre – it is whole cluster pressed and finished in concrete. This is an approachable wine that can also age a few years. Lots of structure with firm tannins alongside ripe cherry, leather and garrigue.
