Description
 
A true vigneron, Jean-Michel tends to four blocks on the dauntingly steep slopes of Côte Rôtie himself, where the grapes eventually end up in his tiny winery of just 4x 1000L stainless steel open top fermenters and a handful of puncheons and barriques. He works mostly with Syrah, Sérine, said to be the parent grape of Syrah, and one small block of Viognier on the flat between the slopes and the river. His wines are always hand-harvested, hand-sorted, whole-bunch fermented and are handled as anaerobically as possible winery so just the smallest dose of sulphur dioxide (<20ppm) at bottling is enough to ensure stability in the bottle for years to come.

A perfumy, silky style, with lots of warm mulled spice and black tea notes leading the way for lightly macerated cherry and plum fruit. Sweet tapenade and tobacco details fill in on the finish, while a tug of iron imparts spine. Distinctive. Drink now through 2023. Wine Spectator 93 (2013)
