👉 “96 Points • La Landonne • One of Côte-Rôtie’s Most Iconic Vineyards”

The Jean-Michel Gerin 2013 Côte-Rôtie “La Landonne” is a profound and structured expression of one of the most revered lieux-dits in the Northern Rhône, delivering depth, power, and remarkable aging potential.

Sourced from the iconic La Landonne vineyard in Côte-Rôtie near Ampuis, this wine represents the more muscular and structured side of Côte-Rôtie, known for producing some of the longest-lived Syrah in the world.

Crafted by Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin, one of the region’s benchmark producers, this bottling comes from steep hillside vineyards planted on iron-rich mica-schist soils, contributing to the wine’s signature intensity and mineral backbone.

The 2013 vintage shows a deep purple hue and an expressive aromatic profile of blackberry liqueur, dark cherry, licorice, and floral oils, layered with notes of black pepper, smoked earth, and subtle oak spice. On the palate, the wine is dense, velvety, and seamless, with supple tannins supporting rich dark fruit and savory complexity. The finish is long, energetic, and refined, with lingering spice and floral nuances.

“La Landonne” is widely regarded as one of Côte-Rôtie’s greatest terroirs, and this bottling captures its essence—powerful, age-worthy, and unmistakably expressive of place.
