"A young producer who has just under 12 acres of vines, Jean-Michel Stephan is a mystical winemaker, eschewing any kind of yeast, chaptalisation, enzymes, or even sulfur." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

"This is from a one-hectare holding planted entirely to petite serine. Deep ruby. Rich blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate aromas are brightened by fresh flowers and graphite. Deep, roasted dark fruit flavors are supported by solid, gripping tannins, which add a measure of seriousness to the ripe, chewy and very persistent finish."  Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, Jan 2008
