Description

A symphony of vibrant dark berry fruits, plums and cassis, with classic pepper on the velvety smooth finish, it's a top festive drop.
Sam Wylie-Harris, The Courier, 20 December 2011

This marvellous wine is a traditional Grenache-dominated blend from 2009, a vintage which has already been recognised as a worthy successor to the sublime 2007 with the same rich hedonistic fruit profile and impressive length.

Crafted especially for us by the prestigious Caves d'Ogier in the heart of the village, it boasts a wealth of black fruits, pepper, herbs and spices, and exudes velvety Mediterranean warmth. A real vin de plaisir, this wine will match flavoursome meats, game and hard cheeses.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

About this WINE

Ogier Caves des Papes

Ogier Caves des Papes

It is impossible to get closer to the centre of Châteauneuf-Du-Pape, literally and figuratively than the address 10 Avenue Louis Pasteur, homestead of one of the finest and most successful Négociant houses in the South of the Rhône, the Southern equivalent, in a way, of even more famous establishments from the Northern Rhône, Maisons Guigal and Chapoutier.

With an impressive range, including the famous Clos De L'Oratoire and extensive vineyard holdings both within and without the appellation, Ogier Cave Des Papes is run with vision on the fruits of the finest raw materials (grapes!) and has richly deserved its fine reputation.

Southern Rhône Blend

Southern Rhône Blend

The vast majority of wines from the Southern Rhône are blends. There are 5 main black varieties, although others are used and the most famous wine of the region, Châteauneuf du Pape, can be made from as many as 13 different varieties. Grenache is the most important grape in the southern Rhône - it contributes alcohol, warmth and gentle juicy fruit and is an ideal base wine in the blend. Plantings of Syrah in the southern Rhône have risen dramatically in the last decade and it is an increasingly important component in blends. It rarely attains the heights that it does in the North but adds colour, backbone, tannins and soft ripe fruit to the blend.

The much-maligned Carignan has been on the retreat recently but is still included in many blends - the best old vines can add colour, body and spicy fruits. Cinsault is also backtracking but, if yields are restricted, can produce moderately well-coloured wines adding pleasant-light fruit to red and rosé blends. Finally, Mourvèdre, a grape from Bandol on the Mediterranean coast, has recently become an increasingly significant component of Southern Rhône blends - it often struggles to ripen fully but can add acidity, ripe spicy berry fruits and hints of tobacco to blends.
