His largest holding is the 1.5 hectares on the Coteau de Bassenon, a 40° slope with terraces cut into the soft granite and gneiss, some of the vineyards are so steep that only 25% can be worked with a horse, the rest has to be tended manually. The vineyards are farmed along biodynamic principles. At present he farms around 60% Syrah, 30% Serine and 10% Viognier, but he is planting more massale-selection Serine, an expressive, small berried Syrah clone almost unique to the northern Rhone. The Viognier is co-planted among the Serine and Syrah and therefore harvested and fermented alongside them. Jean-Michel prefers to ferment his cuvees using carbonic maceration in order to extract the most delicate aromatics while not accentuating the structure and concentration imparted by the low yielding vines. “I make wines on the fruit, without sulphur,” he says “I want fruit and maximum freshness\".\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-03T10:49:23-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-30T01:14:34-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini3012","Other_Wine","Producer_Jean Michel Stéphan","Region_Rhone","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Syrah","Varietal_Viognier"],"price":29899,"price_min":29899,"price_max":29899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42654214455434,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Jean Michel Stéphan | Coteaux de Bassenon","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":29899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/Screenshot2022-12-30100344_70322dcd-6e11-44d5-ad99-c0dfe8636fa7.png?v=1672380926"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/Screenshot2022-12-30100344_70322dcd-6e11-44d5-ad99-c0dfe8636fa7.png?v=1672380926","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Jean Michel Stéphan | Coteaux de Bassenon at CaskCartel.com","id":23870547394698,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.558,"height":556,"width":310,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/Screenshot2022-12-30100344_70322dcd-6e11-44d5-ad99-c0dfe8636fa7.png?v=1672380926"},"aspect_ratio":0.558,"height":556,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/Screenshot2022-12-30100344_70322dcd-6e11-44d5-ad99-c0dfe8636fa7.png?v=1672380926","width":310}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Jean Michel Stéphan | Coteaux de Bassenon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend of Syrah and Viognier is very flattering and very charming from the first years .
