👉 “95 Points • Côte-Rôtie • One of the Best Values in Northern Rhône”

The Jean-Michel Gerin 2019 Côte-Rôtie “Champin Le Seigneur” is a striking expression of Northern Rhône Syrah, delivering the precision, elegance, and complexity that define this iconic appellation.

Produced by one of Côte-Rôtie’s most respected growers, this cuvée is sourced from estate vineyards across both the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, offering a balanced interpretation of the region’s diverse terroirs. The 2019 vintage, marked by warm conditions and excellent ripening, produced wines with both depth and remarkable freshness—a hallmark of top-tier Côte-Rôtie.

In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby color and a layered aromatic profile of blackberry, plum, and cassis, intertwined with classic Northern Rhône notes of graphite, smoked herbs, cracked pepper, and iron-rich minerality. On the palate, it is structured yet refined, with polished tannins and a vibrant core of dark fruit. The finish is long, precise, and savory, showcasing the wine’s balance and aging potential.

“Champin Le Seigneur” represents the entry point into Gerin’s Côte-Rôtie lineup, yet it consistently performs at a level that rivals more expensive bottlings—making it one of the smartest buys in the appellation.
