“A velvety Syrah”

A beautiful expression of the grape variety, with just the right amount of ripeness and floral and spicy notes. The oak is subtle, and the wine is pure overall. The palate follows suit, with a velvety, refined texture. With low tannin levels, the wine shines for its elegance on the palate.

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

In just a few vintages, Stéphane Montez has established himself as a leading winemaker in the northernmost part of the valley, within the Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte Rôtie appellations. Grapes harvested at peak ripeness—sometimes even a bit 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

Rated estate (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

The estate’s origins date back to the 16th century; the Montez family has been growing grapes there since 1741. Taking over from his father Antoine in 1999, Stéphane Montez represents the ninth generation of winemakers. Today, he manages a 40-hectare vineyard in the process of converting to organic farming (Cornas, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and IGP), located on the heights of Chavanay at an altitude of 320 meters. A sure bet in the northern valley

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Since 1997, Stéphane Montez has been cultivating a vineyard planted on beautiful hillsides located less than 2 kilometers from his winery. This rare estate produces 40% white wines. For reds, the estate owns a superb plot of old Syrah vines in Saint-Joseph, which produces a generous and delicious Cuvée du Papy. The Côte-Rôtie wines are becoming increasingly refined, thanks to aging techniques that have been perfected.
