Ogier Vacqueyras La Pourpre: Powerful, Spicy, and Generously Rhône

Ogier Vacqueyras La Pourpre is a bold red blend from the Vacqueyras appellation in the Southern Rhône, crafted by Maison Ogier on clay limestone slopes shaped by the sun and Mistral winds. This wine is a carefully assembled blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, with Grenache leading to express its fullest potential in this terroir. Hand harvested and fermented with long maceration, it undergoes ageing in concrete tanks, barrels, and demi muids to balance strength with elegance.

On the nose, La Pourpre reveals generous aromas of blackcurrant, crushed raspberries, and violet, intertwined with herbal accents of thyme and rosemary. The palate is direct and expressive, presenting waves of dark berry fruit, savory spice, and smooth yet structured tannins. The finish is balanced, long, and lively, marked by freshness and a spicy, lingering echo.

This wine is best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years at 15–16 °C. It pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, lamb, game dishes, and other hearty fare, perfectly matching its bold and savory profile.

Whether you're hosting a rich lamb tagine evening in Dubai Marina or enjoying a cozy game night by the fire in Al Zeina, Abu Dhabi, Ogier Vacqueyras La Pourpre brings depth, warmth, and Southern Rhône intensity to your table.
