This tiny estate, located in the village of Ampuis, consists of 6 hectares (2.5 hectares are within the Côte Rôtie appellation). Prior to 1980, Michel, the father, sold off both his fruit and the wines he produced to the large negoçiant Marcel Guigal. Michel began to bottle wines under his own label, and Bobby’s first vintage working with Domaine Ogier was 1988. Nearly 20 years later, Stéphane, his son, is in charge. His youthful energy and passion for the vineyards and winemaking have resulted in the estate’s rise to superstar status over the past ten years.  The wines produced from these vineyards typically show more finesse than the Côte Brune wine, where clay dominates. As with all of Ogier’s wines, this is a beautifully balanced Syrah loaded with rich black fruits and a smoky, spicy pallet. The texture is smooth and silky with a very long finish.
