Domaine Jean-Michel Gérin - Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes Places 2022
96-98/100
Vinous
"With great precision, it is a sumptuous red wine."
Les Grandes Places by Jean-Michel Gérin is a complex Côte-Rôtie with powerful aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), cocoa and chocolate, incense, olive, and licorice. The nose is complemented by spicy notes of pepper and allspice and a delicate floral touch. On the palate, it is a dense, rich, complex and silky wine. It offers concentrated flavors of blackberry, cherry liqueur, smoke, spices and candied violet. The tannins are structured but remarkably refined. The finish is long and persistent.

About the estate:
The Jean-Michel Gerin estate was created in 1983 with the purchase of a plot of vines in Côte-Rôtie. Jean-Michel comes from a family that has been in the region for six generations. The estate's first vintage was produced in 1987, following the integration of the family vineyards (those of Marcel and Alfred Guerin) into the Jean-Michel Gerin estate. In 1988, the estate carried out its first separate vinification, first at a place called "Les Grandes Places," then in 1996 with grapes from the "La Landonne" plot. The winemaker undertook work in the early 1990s, and the Jean-Michel Gerin estate acquired a vat room and a barrel cellar. The vineyard expanded in 2003, when planting began on the "La Viallière" plot in Côte-Rôtie, on slopes with gradients of 40% to 60%. The first vintages were produced in 2009. Michaël and Alexis Gerin later joined the Jean-Michel Gerin estate, which expanded to a dozen hectares in the 2010s.
