Character & origin

The wine in detail

Ask us

L’Ogre Rouge 2020 by Takahata is a powerful red blend from Yamagata. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot are vinified and matured separately. Small, fully ripe berries give the wine its concentrated fruit, complemented by spicy, toasted notes from 24 months of barrel ageing.

Ripe plum and blackberry aromas are accompanied by black pepper, vanilla and toast. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated. Powerful tannins give the wine a firm structure and carry the long finish.

The winery

Takahata

In southeastern Yamagata, Takahata works closely with the grape growers of its surrounding area. Since 1990, that relationship has produced a varied range of wines. Individual growing areas, the growers themselves and small-batch winemaking give the wines an origin that can be traced through to the bottle.
