Domaine Jean Michel Stephan - Côteaux de Tupin 2019
Maison Stéphan is located in Tupin-et-Semons, in Côte-Rôtie in the Rhône Valley. Jean-Michel Stéphan through his father and his great grandfather, comes from a family of vegetable and fruit growers. At the beginning, the wine estate included 2 hectares in the Côte-rôtie AOC area from which the grapes were sold to a local wine merchant. It was only in 1994 that the first bottles of the estate were marketed. In 1991, Jean-Michel Stéphan created the estate and started the production of organic wine as early as 1995. This was followed by the first production of natural wine in 1997, with the approach from Jules Chauvet. In 2017, Jean-Michel Stéphan joined forces with his son Romain to create the Maison Stéphan and started to build its future.
Côteaux de Tupin is made from Serine, cultivated on Gneiss soil. It is aged for 24 months in old oak barrels from the Jupille forest.
