Domaine Jean-Michel Gérin - Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2023
95/100
Wine Spectator
"An iron fist in a velvet glove".
A mythical Côte-Rôtie appellation, La Landonne boasts an average 58% slope. A wine of rare complexity, full-bodied, structured and perfectly balanced. The tannins, of noble firmness, melt with finesse to sublimate the black fruits of this incredible terroir. Dense and deep, carried by mineral freshness and impressive length. The long, straight, salivating finish reveals exceptional persistence, with accents of smoke, hot stone and violet. - Very limited quantities.

About the domain :
Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin was created in 1983 with the purchase of a parcel of vines in Côte-Rôtie. Jean-Michel comes from a family that has been established in the region for 6 generations. The estate's first cuvée was created 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 on the "Les Grandes Places" plot, then in 1996 with grapes from the "La Landonne" parcel. In the early 1990s, Jean-Michel Gerin undertook the construction of a new winery and barrel cellar. The vineyard expanded in 2003, with the planting of the "La viallière" parcel in Côte-Rôtie, on slopes ranging from 40% to 60%. The first vintages are produced in 2009. Michaël and Alexis Gerin later joined the Jean-Michel Gerin estate, which expanded to a dozen hectares in the 2010s.
