90/100
Vinous
"An eloquent Condrieu that is sure to get people talking!"
"The 2023 Condrieu La Loye is delicious. Notes of ripe apricot, white peach, lemon flesh, and spring flowers come to life in the glass. Medium-bodied, lively, and fresh, the 2023 is an appealing Condrieu that will give you a lot of pleasure right from the start." (Vinous 2024)

Eye
Yellow dress
Nose
Very expressive, dominated by aromas of yellow and exotic fruits, apricot and white peaches, subtle notes of white flowers and slightly buttery.
Mouth
Round and aromatic, brioche notes and ripe summer fruits, with a fresh finish. A beautiful balance between the power of Viognier and the freshness of the northern Condrieu appellation. Very elegant and charming at the same time.

About the estate:
The Jean-Michel Gerin estate was created in 1983 with the purchase of a plot of vines in Côte-Rôtie. Jean-Michel comes from a family that has been in the region for six generations. The estate's first vintage was produced 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 at a place called "Les Grandes Places," then in 1996 with grapes from the "La Landonne" plot. The winemaker undertook work in the early 1990s, and the Jean-Michel Gerin estate acquired a vat room and a barrel cellar. The vineyard expanded in 2003, when planting began on the "La Viallière" plot in Côte-Rôtie, on slopes with gradients of 40% to 60%. The first vintages were produced in 2009. Michaël and Alexis Gerin later joined the Jean-Michel Gerin estate, which expanded to a dozen hectares in the 2010s.
