A fantastic opportunity to acquire two bottles of the 2017 Côte-Rôtie from Maison Stéphan, a highly distinctive and sought-after producer from the Northern Rhône. Known for its expressive, natural style and deeply characterful Syrah wines, Maison Stéphan has become a respected name among collectors and enthusiasts looking for authentic, terroir-driven Côte-Rôtie.

Maison Stéphan was founded by Jean-Michel Stéphan in 1991 in Tupin-et-Semons. The estate initially began with approximately two hectares of Côte-Rôtie, with the first wines bottled under its own name in 1994. In 2017, Jean-Michel Stéphan joined forces with his son Romain, leading to the creation of Maison Stéphan. The domaine works organically and biodynamically, with a strong focus on natural winemaking and minimal intervention.

Côte-Rôtie is one of the Northern Rhône’s most prestigious appellations, producing refined and complex red wines primarily from Syrah, sometimes complemented by a small proportion of Viognier. The steep, terraced vineyards and granitic and schistous soils contribute to wines that combine power, elegance, floral complexity, spice, and mineral freshness.

The 2017 vintage offers a particularly attractive combination of ripe fruit, freshness, and structure. Maison Stéphan’s Côte-Rôtie displays an expressive bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, mulberry, violet, peony, ginger, spice, and subtle citrus nuances. On the palate, it is elegant and beautifully balanced, with velvety, finely grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and impressive depth. The finish is long, savoury, and refined, revealing the combination of power and finesse for which great Côte-Rôtie is renowned.

The bottles have been carefully stored under professional cellar conditions to preserve their quality and provenance. Label, capsule, and fill level are in excellent condition, as shown in the photographs.

Collector's note: Maison Stéphan’s wines are particularly appealing to collectors of natural and low-intervention Rhône wines. The domaine’s limited production, distinctive winemaking philosophy, and expressive Côte-Rôtie terroir make these bottles highly interesting for both drinking and collecting. The 2017 vintage is now developing additional complexity while retaining the freshness and structure required for further ageing.
