"Ogier's 1989 Cote Rotie exhibited an exceptional elegance and a perfume that could rival the greatest wines of Burgundy. With more tannin and structure than the 1990, as well as excellent color, it needs . . . years of cellaring. There is no doubting its magnificent fragrance of spring flowers, black fruits, oak, and minerals. The flavors are tightly knit, and the precociousness suggested by the bouquet is not followed up on the palate as the wine needs some cellaring."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
