Jean-Michel Stéphan, a man who respects and draws inspiration from the past, while also being modern and innovative, created his estate in 1991. It stretches over 4.5 ha in the Côte-Rôtie, including such legendary vineyard sites as Tupin, Semons and Bassenon. His vineyards are made up of 30% Sérine (considered the original stock of Syrah, a pure grape variety which makes wines finer, more full bodied and more complex), 10% Viognier and 60% Syrah, a cloned variety in this case. In terms of viticulture, ploughing is done by horse when possible (otherwise… with a hoe!), and soils are fertilized with natural compost. The goal here is to make natural wines, thus vinifications are done without sulfur, with whole bunches, followed by ageing in old barrels. Jean-Michel makes a few bottles of Condrieu and some Vin de Pays on the side, but his true love is the Côte-Rôtie – indeed there are few vignerons who have committed themselves with such precision and passion to one appellation...
Sulphites-free wine
Syrah with a nose of spice, blackberries, blackcurrant, and violets, and an elegant palate that highlights on many levels the distinctive Stephan style. Fruit, fruit, fruit, and more fruit...
Sulphites-free wine
A nose with notes of apricot, citrus, violet, and honey, with a hint of exotic fruit. The palate is at once crystalline and unusually powerful and fleshy, with length like we’ve rarely experienced in a tasting, and a finish with a hint of salinity. Serious stuff here – a very great wine.
Sulphites-free wine
A luscious nose of white peach, apricot, pear, elderberry, chalk and candied lemon. Palate: with the lovely volume of a southern wine, yet perfectly balanced à la Stéphan, with fine acidity and bitter notes on the finish. Dive in with Le Grand Blanc (Great White) – you have nothing to fear!

Sulphites-free wine
A complex, powerful, spicy wine with notes of black fruits, violets and liquorice. On the palate, it’s fresh, smooth, and well balanced. A very beautiful expression of the Syrah grape, with lovely minerality. It’s superb – and it’s natural.
Sulphites-free wine
A few words from the estate: "Spicy and red fruits, violets, supple tannins, good tension due to a beautiful acidity." A bottle that will benefit from a short time in your cellar before revealing its full complexity.
Sulphites-free wine
Grenache bursting with fruit and freshness, offering a lighter, more fluid style than one might expect from Maison Stéphan. With notes of blackberry and flowers, this is a delightful, sulfur-free wine to open whenever the mood for pure enjoyment strikes.
Sulphites-free wine
We’re thrilled to see Jean-Michel Stéphan crafting wine from this appellation, delivering a glass bursting with black fruit, blackberry, musk, and a hint of forest floor. The palate is all about elegance—a sublime, age-worthy wine. Decanting is recommended in its youth.
