2022 Côtes du Rhône, Le Temps Est Venu, Stéphane Ogier, Rhône

Description

This is a delicate wine of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. A blend of Stéphane’s Cairanne and Rasteau parcels, there is serious structure here. Energy and charm retain the delicacy of his other cuvées and this excels. Fresh red plums, dried herbs and supple texture are balanced by the classic freshness from the 2022 vintage.

Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 16/20
Grenache, Syrah.Lovely spicy nose – crushed red fruits, juicy and sappy. The palate is rounded and has some firm tannins as well beneath. Textured and spicy and earthy as well with some graphite. Ripe and voluminous. Still needs time.Drink 2025 - 2032Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)

An aromatic, fresh and well-balanced white with plenty of stone fruits, honeysuckle and cooked lemons. Medium body with fresh acidity and plenty of fruity character all along. Juicy and flavorful finish.Drink or holdjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (May 2023)
