Côte Rôtie Les Grandes Places Jean-Michel Gerin 2013

The GERIN family is located in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie vineyard, in the village of Ampuis. The cuvée des Grandes Places comes from 1.4 hectares, 40% of which are vines over 40 years old. 100% de-stemmed, the harvest will benefit from a 4-week maceration and then a two-year ageing process. Its concentration is expressed on aromas of liquorice, black fruits and even chocolate, and melts harmoniously in a stretched finish. The influence of the Mediterranean and continental climates gives tannic, powerful, but also silky and elegant wines.
