"An eloquent Condrieu that intends to make a name for itself!
An expressive Condrieu with aromas of apricot and orange blossom! Open, fruity and concentrated, the palate is charming, with a fresh, subtly vanilla finish.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2017) Guide Vert (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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.
