2019 | Jean Michel Gerin | Cote Rotie Cote Bodin

Offers seductive aromas of ripe black raspberry, cherry jam and exotic spices, along with lively mineral and floral notes that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is velvety, supple and finely textured, offering flavors of black and blue fruits, gingerbread and violet candy supported by an undercurrent of piquant minerality. A very balanced and polished character, an extremely long finish with harmonious tannins.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Dark and alluring, with hints of Turkish coffee, juniper and smoldering bay leaf mixed with dark plum, black cherry and blackberry reduction notes. This has muscle and drive and is sleek and focused, with a prominent bolt of iron running through the very long finish. A terrific wine.

Producer Information

Domaine Gerin is a French wine producer based in the Côte Rôtie at the northernmost tip of the Rhône Valley. The estate's wine portfolio is dominated by its range of varietal Syrah wines from vineyards in Côte Rôtie and Saint-Joseph, with additional vineyard sites in Condrieu providing the estate's Viognier wines. Jean-Michel Gerin acquired his first vineyard plot in Côte Rôtie in 1983. Four years later, he released his inaugural vintage, closely followed by his first single-vineyard wine, Les Grandes Places, in 1988 and La Landonne in 1996. The estate's most recent release came in 2009 with the production of La Viallière from a vineyard planted in 2004 in Côte Rôtie. These single-vineyard varietal Syrah wines come from southeast-facing vineyards planted on a variety of soil types, from mica to iron oxide and schist. In terms of vinification, the grapes are 100 percent destemmed and macerated for four weeks. Gerin uses 100 percent new oak barrels to age these wines for 18-20 months.
