Domaine du Monteillet is a family estate in the Northern Rhône Valley overseen by Stéphane Montez, the tenth generation to manage the vineyards. Stéphane trained extensively both in France and internationally, studying viticulture and winemaking in Burgundy and the Rhône before returning to the family estate. He is known for his meticulous vineyard work, hands-on approach in the cellar, and dedication to expressing the unique granitic terroirs of Condrieu, Saint‑Joseph and Côte‑Rôtie. The domaine’s holdings lie on steep, terraced slopes with south-facing exposure, and Stéphane works closely with his team to combine tradition with careful experimentation, producing wines that balance power, precision, and aromatic finesse.
The 2022 Côte‑Rôtie “Cuvée Fortis” is made from approximately 95 % Syrah with 5 % Viognier from the estate’s Côte‑Rôtie parcels near Ampuis. Fermentation involves cold maceration, daily punch‑downs and remontage, followed by ageing for around 20 months in new French oak demi‑muids. The wine shows deep red and black fruit aromas with subtle spice and floral notes, fine yet firm tannins, and a long, silky finish typical of this appellation.
