Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
In just a few vintages, Stéphane Montez has established himself as a leading winemaker in the northern part of the valley, in the Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte Rôtie appellations. Grapes harvested when fully ripe, sometimes even a little overripe, produce wines with great power and intensity on the palate. Unfortunately, the estate did not present its wines at our tastings this year.

About the estate:
The origins of the estate date back to the 16th century; the Montez family has been growing vines here since 1741. Stéphane Montez took over from his father Antoine in 1999 and is now the ninth generation of winegrowers. Today, he manages a 40-hectare vineyard in conversion to organic farming (Cornas, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, and IGP), located on the heights of Chavanay at an altitude of 320 meters. A sure bet in the northern valley.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Since 1997, Stéphane Montez has been cultivating a vineyard planted on beautiful hillsides less than 2 kilometers from his cellar. This rare estate produces 40% white wines. For reds, the estate has a superb plot of old Syrah vines in Saint-Joseph, which produces a generous and delicious Cuvée du Papy. The Côte-Rôtie wines are better controlled, based on more refined aging techniques.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/01/2025
Well-constructed with perfectly balanced aging, this Syrah has a full-bodied, lively profile, revealing powerful, dense flavors with delicious notes of ripe fruit jam and spices, accompanied by silky tannins and a mineral undertone that prolongs the long finish. Easy to drink and very pleasant with Provençal-style headless larks and fresh tagliatelle.
