Ogier’s limited production white wines include the 2009 Condrieu La Combe de Malleval. Aged in old wood, it reveals abundant notes of lychee nuts, white peaches, honeysuckle and rose water, good minerality, medium to full body and a long finish.

One of France’s most brilliant small artisanal wineries is that of the Ogier family in Ampuis, situated about six blocks north of Guigal’s vast network of underground cellars. The value picks are the wines made from the steep hillsides north of the old Roman settlement of Vienne.
