Rhône Valley, France

The Gerin family’s wine domaine has had its roots in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie vineyards, in Ampuis, for 6 generations. Côte-Rôtie, located 30 km south of Lyon, is the most northerly AOC in the Rhône Valley, covering some 320 hectares. Thanks to the influence of the Mediterranean and continental climates, the wines possess a combination of tannic power, silkiness and elegance. The main grape variety, Syrah, is sometimes blended with Viognier to create wines with additional finesse.
