Domaine Jean-Michel Gérin - La Champine Viognier 2024
"Baby Condrieu!"
This cuvée fully embodies the hallmarks of Viognier. Ripe summer fruits (apricots, peaches) and a rich, indulgent character are clearly present. On the palate, it is delicate and full of charm. This is a very approachable wine for anyone looking to discover a 100% Viognier! Or try it in a blind tasting as part of a wine-tasting introduction!

About the estate:
The Jean-Michel Gerin estate was founded in 1983 with the purchase of a vineyard plot in Côte-Rôtie. Jean-Michel comes from a family that has been settled in the region for six generations. The estate’s first vintage was produced in 1987, following the incorporation of the family’s vineyards (those of Marcel and Alfred Guerin) into the Jean-Michel Gerin estate. In 1988, the estate carried out its first separate vinification, first from the “Les Grandes Places” vineyard, then in 1996 with grapes from the “La Landonne” plot. The winemaker undertook renovations in the early 1990s; the Jean-Michel Gerin estate was then equipped with a fermentation room and a barrel cellar. The vineyard expanded in 2003, when planting began on the “La Viallière” plot in Côte-Rôtie, on slopes ranging from 40% to 60%. The first vintages were produced in 2009. Michaël and Alexis Gerin later joined the Jean-Michel Gerin estate, which had expanded to about a dozen hectares by the 2010s.
