Maison Stephan VdF Gamay 2024 CRUSEBUB and pungent florals—and chewy fruitJean Michel Stephan is one of the only growers making natural wine across the board in Cote Rotie, working with zero added sulfur. With his son Romain he's expanded beyond the appellation into a more approachable Vin de France range, and this Gamay is part of that playful, drink now lineup. Light, fresh and unfussy, it captures the joyful, gluggable side of a producer better known for serious Syrah. Chill it down and pour freely.
