2010 L'Âme Soeur Seyssuel, Vin de Pays, Domaine Michel et Stéphane Ogier

L'Ame Soeur Seyssuel, Vin de Pays, Domaine Michel et Stephane Ogier
A schistous sister for the Côte Rôtie, ‘L’Ame Soeur’ is the fruit of Stéphane’s venture in his Vienne vineyard, which is located to the north of Ampuis in Seyssuel on the site of ancient Roman plantations. Closer geographically to the Côte Brune, the soils are in fact closer in character to those of the Côte Blonde; indeed Stéphane is of the opinion that ,as the vines become mature, they will prove to be even better. The 2010 is certainly very impressive, with a charming spicy nose and notes of bacon fat, raspberry and peat on the palate, all wrapped in silky tannins.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

Young, dynamic and handsome, Stéphane Ogier has had another good year, purchasing some more prime vineyards, making some fantastic 2010s and celebrating the birth of his first son, Marius. His wine-making philosophy is intriguing, minutely sensitive to the requirements of both the vintage and the parcel in question. As a generalisation he prefers new wood and destemming for the Côte Blonde, and older wood and less destemming in the Côte Brune. But there are always exceptions... and the wines are always exceptional...
