👉 “96 Points • Only 56 Cases Imported • Serious Côte-Rôtie”

The Jean-Michel Gerin 2018 Côte-Rôtie “Côte-Bodin” is a powerful and highly expressive Northern Rhône Syrah, showcasing the precision, minerality, and structure that define top-tier Côte-Rôtie wines.

This limited-production cuvée comes from a recently acquired parcel in Côte-Rôtie, where 30+ year-old vines are planted across varied exposures—east, south, and southwest—creating a wine that balances freshness, depth, and structure in remarkable harmony.

Produced by Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin, one of the region’s benchmark estates, “Côte-Bodin” reflects both modern precision and traditional Rhône character. The 2018 vintage, known for its ripeness and concentration, delivers a wine that is rich yet finely detailed, with exceptional aging potential.

In the glass, the wine reveals intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and blueberry compote, layered with notes of graphite, violets, spice, olive tapenade, and smoked earth. On the palate, it is velvety, full-bodied, and beautifully structured, with a core of dark fruit supported by vibrant acidity and mineral tension. The finish is long, complex, and persistent, with savory and floral elements lingering.

With extremely limited availability—only 500 cases produced and just 56 cases imported—this is a serious, collectible Côte-Rôtie that offers both immediate appeal and long-term cellaring potential.
