Story
Othéguy Stéphane
Côte-Rôtie · Rhône · France
Stéphane Othéguy is cultivating vineyards in prestigious appellations such as Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Saint Joseph. An ardent advocate of organic agriculture and a member of the environmental association Nature et Progrès, Stéphane embodies both farmer and winemaker. In addition to his 3 hectares of vineyards, he cultivates 5 hectares of fruit trees, ranging from apples, pears, and figs to an orchard of Ampuis apricot trees planted through massal selection, all surrounded by 5 hectares of woodland and 3 hectares of pasture. Despite his diverse agricultural interests, Stéphane remains a formidable presence among winegrowers.
“Simple and pragmatic in his approach, he believes that organic wine production is actually less expensive due to the elimination of costly chemical inputs.”
His wines are natural, with only a minimal amount of sulphur added at bottling.
