ABOUT THIS WINE
The Côtes du Rhône Artesis 2023 is a red wine from the Rhône Valley, produced by Ogier, a company established in 1859. Its name, 'Artesis,' is inspired by artesian wells, reflecting the producer's focus on ideal aging conditions. The wine is a blend of six grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cinsault, and Marselan, sourced from various vineyard sites within the Côtes du Rhône appellation, such as the Villafrancien terraces and the hills of Avignon and Roquemaure. These diverse terroirs, characterized by sand and layered stones, contribute to the wine's character. The 2023 vintage is noted for its energetic and succulent qualities.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Côtes du Rhône Artesis 2023 involves destemming and crushing the grapes, followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration at 12°C for four days to enhance color and aroma extraction. The wine then undergoes fermentation (specifics not detailed). Following fermentation, it is aged for 12 months in large oak foudres (60-80 hectoliters). The grapes are sourced from diverse terroirs within the Côtes du Rhône region, including sandy valleys and stony slopes.
