Here's a nugget! The 'Le Passage' cuvée from Domaine Stéphane Ogier takes its name from plots located in the 'passage' leading to Malleval, a commune nestling in the heart of the Saint Joseph appellation. Like the other wines made by Stéphane Ogier, Le Passage embodies balance and precision. This 2021 vintage stands out for its spicy pepper notes, perfectly ripe black fruit and remarkable length on the palate. The texture on the palate is velvety and generous, underpinned by perfectly balanced tannins. This Saint-Joseph fully expresses the distinctive characteristics of its terroir, where the presence of granite gives it a pleasant freshness. Made from 100% Syrah, it is sure to appeal to fans of this emblematic grape variety.
