OGER

One of the most celebrated Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs, the heartland of Chardonnay in Champagne. What makes it particularly special is the combination of its terroir, exposure, and the distinctive style of wines it produces.

The village sits on deep layers of pure belemnite chalk, one of the defining geological features of the Côte des Blancs. This chalk stores water like a sponge and releases it gradually during dry periods, it provides excellent drainage, it encourages deep root systems and therefor contributes to the pronounced minerality and freshness found in the wines.

Many winegrowers consider Oger's chalk terrorir among the finest expressions of Chardonnay terroir anywhere in Champagne.
