Cote Rotie L'Ultime, Domaine Jean-Michel Stephan 2021

For the challenging 2021 vintage, this has astonishing concentration and refinement. The fineness of the tannins takes your breath away, and the mineral acidity provides exactly the right accent to illuminate all this. So precise and pure in the extremely long finish. A cuvee based on the Cote Blonde with a smaller amount from the Cote Brune, totaling 4.5 hectares of vineyards with vine age between 25 and 125 years. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold
