Jean-Michel Gerin Viognier Vin de Pays

Aged 80% in stainless steel and 20% in barrel, this is a superb Viognier, farmed just outside the Condrieu appellation. Benchmark dried apricot and honeysuckle nose then a rich and beautifully textured palate. (12 x 75 cl)

Gerin's winemaking methods aim for fragrance and sumptuous texture, with the wines' substance is based on fruit rather than tannic mass. He employs copious use of wood, yet his wines seem to integrate it in a remarkable way, a model for subtly oaked fruit. (12 x 75 cl)

Gerin's Condrieu comes from 1.8 hectares of south-facing, terraced vines on decomposed granite soil. The wine is aged for a year in 70 % barrique and has classic apricot and white peach notes; rich and decadent, a paradigm of quality Viognier. (12 x 75 cl)

Made from 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier, this is Jean Michel's flagship wine. With a significant percent of the vines older than 50 years, and generous elevage for 18 months,this is a perfect expression of Cote Rotie; violets, olives and blackberries. On the palate smoke, black fruit and perfect tannins. Really authoritative on the finish. (12 x 75 cl)
