Red Wine Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places 2022 by Jean Michel Gerin

Description

The 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places from Jean-Michel Gerin is an iconic red wine from the Côte Rôtie, a prestigious wine-growing region in the Rhône Valley. This vintage, produced exclusively from the Syrah grape variety, embodies the excellence and expertise of the Jean-Michel Gerin estate. Located on the steep slopes of the Côte Rôtie, the vineyard benefits from a unique terroir characterized by schist soils and an ideal microclimate for grape ripening.

The 2022 Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places offers an intense ruby ​​color, reflecting its concentration and richness. On the nose, it reveals a complex aromatic bouquet, dominated by notes of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and blueberry, accompanied by spicy touches of black pepper and licorice. Subtle aromas of violet and leather add additional depth to this wine. On the palate, the attack is full and generous, with black fruit flavors that develop harmoniously. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, providing a balanced structure and a long, lingering finish, marked by smoky and mineral notes.

The grapes are harvested by hand, with a rigorous selection of the best bunches. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in open vats, with regular punching down to extract the quintessence of aromas and tannins. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months, giving it beautiful complexity and exceptional aging potential.
