Côte-rôtie "Champin le Seigneur" 2021 - Domaine Gérin 75cl
Domaine Gérin's 2021 Côte-Rôtie "Champin le Seigneur" is an exceptional wine that reflects the richness and complexity of its terroir. Located in the prestigious Côte-Rôtie appellation, this wine is made from Syrah grapes, with a small proportion of Viognier, giving it a unique elegance.
The 2021 vintage received special attention during the harvest, which was carried out manually to ensure the selection of the ripest grapes. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation, which promotes the harmonious development of aromas. This wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, allowing for a subtle integration of the wood while preserving the purity of the fruit.
Upon tasting, "Champin le Seigneur" presents a deep ruby color, promising aromatic intensity. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits and black berries, accompanied by spicy and floral notes. On the palate, it stands out for its elegant and silky tannic structure, with flavors of cherry, plum, and a hint of black pepper, all supported by a beautiful acidity that imparts appreciable freshness. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a memorable impression.
To fully appreciate its characteristics, it is recommended to enjoy this Côte-Rôtie "Champin le Seigneur" between 5 and 10 years after bottling. It will ideally accompany rich and flavorful dishes such as roast meats, game, or mature cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16-18°C to highlight its aromatic bouquet and complexity.
