Wine Expert Note:

This Domaine Jean-Michel Stéphan Côte-Rôtie is a full-bodied and powerful red wine with a deep ruby color. Its aromas of blackberry and cassis dominate the nose, with subtle notes of tobacco and spices. On the palate, this wine is bold and flavorful, with a velvety texture and ripe tannins. Its concentrated flavors of blackberry and cassis are complemented by hints of pepper, leather, and graphite. The finish is long and lingering. A truly unique and elegant expression of Syrah from the Côte-Rôtie appellation.

The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a year, with 30% new oak and the remainder seasoned between 1 to 4 years. Known for their dedication to manual labor and attention to detail, the Durand brothers produce red wines of exceptional quality, characterized by concentrated textures and a distinctive graphite, precise, and mineral-driven style that reflects the unique terroir of Cornas.

The grape varieties Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre unite in the cuvée of this dark red wine. The vines thrive on varied soil. Limestone, granite, pebbles and alluvial land determine the overall picture. The vines are on average 35 years old. After a careful and selective harvest, the winegrowers ferment the Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge traditionally at a controlled temperature. The wine stays on the skins for a long time and thus gains color and taste. Before being bottled, the Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge matures in oak barrels for a year and a half.
