Michel & Stéphane Ogier 2004 Belle Hélène Syrah (Côte Rôtie)
- $199
The 2004s at Ogier are tremendously successful, none more so than the family’s top cuvée. The 2004 Belle Hélène boasts waves of creamy raspberry fruit framed by wonderfully supple tannins. Long-lasting on the finish, it’s already delicious but should develop additional complexity through 2015.

Michel & Stéphane Ogier 2004 Lancement Syrah (Côte Rôtie)
- $180
Wonderfully floral and spicy on the nose, with hints of anise that add nuance to the layers of raspberry fruit. Stéphane Ogier claims he adores the 2004 vintage, and with wines like this, why shouldn’t he? This finishes lush and long, and although already approachable, should age effortlessly through at least 2015.

Michel & Stéphane Ogier 2004 Syrah (Côte Rôtie)
- $91
Slightly herbal on the nose, without the great intensity of some vintages, but still having pretty peppered raspberry aromas. This is a bit light in weight, but wonderfully supple, elegant and well-balanced. Finishes long, with silky tannins and a touch of cranberry. Drink now–2014.

Michel & Stéphane Ogier 2007 Syrah (Côte Rôtie)
- Online Exclusive
- $99
Floral and inviting, with classic aromas of game, pepper, violets and berry fruits. It shows full concentration, with a plush fabric and solid flavors of black fruit, olive, spice and clove. Not overly complex or elevated; more of a solid worker wine with talent and very good quality.

Michel & Stéphane Ogier 2005 La Rosine Syrah (Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes)
- $35
This is spicy and herbal but also loaded with cherry fruit, made with grapes grown not far from teh family's Côte-Rôtie vineyards. It's a bit light in body, but nicely savory and true to its northern Rhône origins, with enough structure to hold for 2-3 years.

Michel & Stéphane Ogier 2006 La Rosine Viognier (Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes)
- $35
A blend of barrel- and tank-fermented wine, this is an attractively floral and fresh Viognier intended for early drinking. There’s a hint of honeyed richness to the apricot and pineapple flavors, but it finishes clean and refreshing. Drink now–2008.
