Description

Jean Michel Gerin Champin Le Seigneur is produced from a blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier in most vintages. The wine comes from a mix of vines ranging from 10-50 years of age. Champin Le Seigneur is aged in 50% new oak barrels for up to 18 months.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, dec. 2019): 90-93/100. Tasted from a new oak barrel, the 2018 Cote Rotie Champin le Seigneur shows plenty of generous cherry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe and lush. Just lovely stuff. Drink date 2022 - 2032.

Jean-Michel Gerin

The Gerin family has been established in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie vineyard, for 6 generations. This vineyard, located 30km south of Lyon, is the northernmost appellation of the Rhône Valley and one of the smallest. The influence of the Mediterranean and continental climates gives wines that are tannic, powerful, silky and elegant. The king grape variety, "Syrah" is sometimes blended with Viognier to bring more finesse to the wines.

Northern Rhone

The Northern Rhône, a prestigious wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its exceptional Syrah-based red wines and aromatic white wines. Characterised by its steep, terraced vineyards along the Rhône River, it benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, ideal for viticulture. The Northern Rhône is particularly renowned for its powerful and elegant red wines from Syrah, notably from appellations like Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, and Cornas. It also produces exquisite white wines from Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, especially in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph. The unique terroir, combined with traditional winemaking techniques, imparts distinctive flavours and complexity to the wines. The Northern Rhône offers a remarkable experience for wine enthusiasts seeking some of France's finest and most storied wines.
