Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes Places
Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes Places is one of the estate's most emblematic parcel-based cuvées, from a prestigious terroir in the northern part of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. This wine embodies a demanding, in-depth vision of Syrah, highlighting the power, complexity and depth characteristic of great Northern Rhône wines.
A deep, structured Côte-Rôtie
The nose reveals great aromatic intensity, dominated by notes of ripe black fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry, accompanied by spice, pepper, violet and subtle smoky, toasty touches.
On the palate, the wine stands out for its concentration and structure. The body is dense, supported by powerful but perfectly integrated tannins. The balance is remarkable, buoyed by a freshness that lengthens the finish and reinforces the precision of the whole.
This cuvée offers a particularly deep, racy expression of Syrah, with remarkable length on the palate.
An exceptional terroir north of Côte-Rôtie
Les Grandes Places is a parcel located on steep slopes, with schist and micaschist soils, benefiting from ideal exposure. This terroir lends the wine assertive structure, marked minerality and significant cellaring capacity.
In this northern sector of the appellation, the wines gain in tension and depth, offering profiles that are more austere in their youth but of great complexity with age.
Precision winemaking and ageing
Vinification is carried out with great rigor, with controlled extraction to preserve the balance between power and finesse.
Long, careful aging in oak barrels accompanies the wine as it builds, bringing complexity and structure without masking the expression of terroir.
This precise work results in a wine that is at once powerful, elegant and perfectly structured.

A great gourmet wine
This Côte-Rôtie will go perfectly with red meats, game, dishes in sauce or structured gourmet cuisine.
Its power and complexity make it an ideal wine for rich, elaborate pairings.
Ageing potential
Les Grandes Places is a cuvée built for aging, able to evolve over 10 to 20 years depending on the vintage.
With time, the wine will develop complex aromas of leather, undergrowth, spices and candied black fruits, gaining in depth and refinement.
