Tasting: A beautifully composed Northern Rhône Syrah that exemplifies the region's distinctive character. The nose reveals intense black fruits, cracked black pepper, and violet notes, with subtle hints of olive tapenade. The palate is concentrated yet elegant, offering layers of blackberry, dark plum, and smoky minerals, supported by fine-grained tannins. A thread of fresh acidity maintains perfect balance, while notes of garrigue and graphite emerge on the lengthy finish.
Pairing: This sophisticated Syrah finds its perfect match with Limousin Veal, its refined structure complementing the meat's delicate flavour. Equally compelling with Cinco Jotas Pluma, where the wine's pepper notes enhance the Iberico pork's nutty character. For cheese pairings, try with aged Pont-l'Évêque, or serve alongside wild Trompettes and Black Truffle for an exceptional gastronomic experience.
Producer: Ogier, under the guidance of Stéphane Ogier, represents the pinnacle of Northern Rhône winemaking. Having taken over from his father Michel in 2000, Stéphane has transformed the estate into one of the region's most respected producers. His approach combines meticulous vineyard management with precise winemaking, focusing on expressing each terroir's unique characteristics. L'Orientale comes from east-facing slopes, where the morning sun and cool afternoon shade create perfect conditions for graceful, aromatic Syrah.
Vintage: 2022 proved exceptional in Crozes-Hermitage, with ideal growing conditions throughout the season. Despite the warm summer, cool nights preserved crucial acidity, while adequate rainfall at key moments prevented vine stress. These conditions produced wines of remarkable freshness and concentration, with excellent ageing potential.
