Domaine Gerin is situated in the Côte Rôtie at the northernmost point of the Rhône Valley. The estate`s primary focus revolves around a collection of Syrah wines sourced from vineyards in Côte Rôtie and Saint-Joseph, along with Viognier wines from additional vineyard parcels in Condrieu. Jean-Michel Gerin`s journey began in 1983 when he acquired his first holding in Côte Rôtie. Just four years later, he introduced his inaugural vintage, closely followed by his first single-vineyard creation, ‘Les Grandes Places’, in 1988. The 2005 Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places by Jean Michel Gerin has reached an ideal stage at the moment. The tannins have softened, and the fruit remains vibrant. There are subtle hints of maturity, with nuances of autumn leaves and earth, yet the berry fruit is still discernible, along with a touch of tobacco.

Deep red. Ripe dark berries and fresh violet on the nose, with complicating notes of Asian spices and minerals. Taut, sharply focused cassis and bitter cherry flavors are underscored and freshened by bright acidity, with firm tannins clamping down on the sappy finish. More reserved than last year's showing, but no less impressive.Josh Raynolds1st January 2008

91 Robert Parker

Dark ruby/purple with notes of truffle oil, roasted meat, black fruits, and scorched earth, the 2005 Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places is the pick of the litter. From a vineyard planted on pure schist, which renders a Graves-like earthiness to the wine, this wine is smoky, deep, chewy, rustic, but saved by its beautiful fruit purity. This beauty should hit its prime in 3 years, and drink well for 12-15.
