Domaine Stephane Ogier winery
It is a winery known prevalently for its fantastic expressions of syrah and grenache, but also and not least for its interpretations of viognier, which give us harmonic and fragrant whites, representing a great territory of whites such as Condrieu. The Ogier family has been rooted for 7 generations on the slopes of Ampuis, and its primary interest has always been the meticulous care of the vineyards.

Today M & S Ogier cultivates 16 hectares, produces both white wines from viognier and red wines from syrah and grenache, and has also set up a small business of n gociant that supplies
