The Story
Jean-Michel Stephan is one of the only growers making natural wine across all of Cote-Rotie, working without added sulfur. This Syrah comes from his Vin de France range, assembled from younger Syrah planted near Condrieu and Verin, fermented with semi-carbonic techniques and raised in concrete. It's the lively, approachable cousin to his serious appellation bottlings: peppery, juicy and unmistakably Northern Rhone in spirit. A natural-wine Syrah that overdelivers.
