Jean-Michel Gerin Cote Rotie Champin Le Seigneur 750ml

Vintage: 2019
Description: A beauty, offering a dark and alluring core of steeped plum and blackberry fruit inlaid with a graphite edge and flanked on both sides by dark bay leaf, cast iron and singed juniper accents. Stays very precise through the finish. Best from 2024 through 2038. 1,500 cases made, 100 cases imported. The Syrah brings in smoke, violets and red fruits. The combination gives the wine a softer entry with underlying power and finesse. Inky ruby with vibrant cherry and black currant aromas are complemented by suggestions of black pepper, violet and olive. Taut and structured on entry, then more open in the mid-palate, it offers red berry and bitter cherry flavors sweetened by a floral pastille nuance and a hint of cola. Shows very good lift and focus on the gently tannic finish, which hangs on with very good, floral persistence. Easy to drink young, but can be kept for more than 10 years. Pairs well with red meats such as beef and game, ravioli with truffles, blue cheeses and strong cheeses.
