Vinous
"A lovely, complex, and aromatic Côte-Rôtie"
With a deep color and purple highlights, the Côte-Rôtie Champin Le Seigneur is a complex wine with aromas of juicy red and blue fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants), smoky minerals, flowers (violets), olives, and peppery notes. On the palate, it is intense, delicate, and powerful. The attack is lively and fresh, with firm, velvety tannins. It offers a rich aromatic palette of red and black fruits, licorice, and violet, accented by peppery notes and hints of oak and smoke. The finish is long and concentrated.

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 based in the region for six generations. The estate’s first vintage was released 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 cellar 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.
