      Saturated ruby. Heady aromas of candied dark berries, incense and licorice are complemented by suggestions of candied violet and five-spice powder.

      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: A wine that could flirt with perfection at maturity, the 2012 Côte Rôtie Cuvée Belle Helene is the polar opposite of the perfumed, finesse styled Lancement and offers a dense, powerful, masculine personality. Inky-colored, full-bodied, sensationally concentrated and still balanced and seamless, it offers a serious bouquet of dark fruits (cassis, black raspberries), crushed rock, charcoal, graphite and wood smoke. The more rounded style of the 2012 vintage gives this a touch of upfront charm, but it really needs 6-7 years of cellaring and will have three decades or more of longevity.
      • Vinous: Saturated ruby. Heady aromas of candied dark berries, incense and licorice are complemented by suggestions of candied violet and five-spice powder. Supple, deeply flavored and energetic, offering powerful blackberry and floral pastille flavors and a zesty peppery nuance. The smooth, strikingly long finish features lingering sweetness, a hint of allspice and subtle, slow-building tannins.

      Producer Information

      Domaine Stéphane Ogier is a producer in the northern Rhône appellation of Côte Rôtie. It is especially well known for varietal Syrah from several highly regarded appellations in the region, but also making small amounts of Viognier from Condrieu and red and white Vin de Pays wine. The Ogier family has farmed the Rhône Valley for generations, including tending vineyards. The domaine was formed by Michel Ogier who had been growing grapes in the village of Ampuis in Côte Rôtie and selling them, notably to famous Rhône producers Guigal and Chapoutier. Ogier began making its own wine in the early 1980s and by 1987 was vinifying and bottling its entire harvest. Michel's son Stéphane began working at the winery in 1998 after studying viticulture and enology in Burgundy and within a few years he took over running the domaine. The estate had gone by Domaine Michel Ogier, but new vintages now commonly say either Domaine Michel et Stephane Ogier or M&S Ogier d'Ampuis. When the estate began vinifying its own grapes, it had roughly 3 hectares under vine. Beginning at the end of the 1990s more vineyards were planted or purchased, specifically several in new Côte-Rôtie lieux-dits and a small 1.2 ha vineyard in Condrieu. The domaine believes strongly in the quality of specific sites within Côte-Rôtie, comparing them to the variously tiered village, premier cru and grand cru AOCs in Burgundy. It has practiced vinifying individual parcels separately and labels often carry the name of the specific lieux-dits where the grapes comes from, though no legal classification for sub-regions exists in Côte-Rôtie. In 2015 Ogier was farming 16 ha, 8 of which were in Côte-Rôtie. It also established a small négociant business which provides the fruit for the Le Temps Est Venu Côtes du Rhone. The wines have been critically praised with several vintages of the Côte-Rôtie Cuvée Belle Helene, from the Côte Brun lieu-dit, earning 100 points from Robert Parker.
