A benchmark white wine from the Saint Joseph appellation, this cuvée boasts a highly developed, refined bouquet with notes of orchard fruit and white flowers, intoxicating us on the way to an intense, beautifully mineral palate. A great Rhône white!

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
In just a few vintages, Stéphane Montez has established himself as a benchmark winemaker in the northern sector of the valley, in the Saint-Joseph, Condrieu and Côte Rôtie appellations. Ripe grapes, sometimes a little too ripe, produce wines with great power and intensity on the palate. Unfortunately, the estate did not present its wines at our tastings this year.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
The estate's origins date back to the 16th century, and the Montez family has been cultivating vines since 1741. Stéphane Montez, who took over from his father Antoine in 1999, represents the ninth generation of winegrowers. Today, he manages a 40-hectare vineyard in organic conversion (cornas, côte-rôtie, condrieu, saint-joseph and IGP), established on the heights of Chavanay at 320 m altitude. A sure bet in the northern valley

Wine rated (guide 2023) 90/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Since 1997, Stéphane Montez has been cultivating a vineyard planted on beautiful slopes less than 2 kilometers from his winery. This rare unit produces 40% white wines. For reds, the estate owns a superb parcel of old Syrahs in Saint-Joseph, which produces a generous, gourmet Cuvée du Papy. The côte-rôtie wines are increasingly well mastered, based on maturing techniques that have become more refined.
