Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin "La Champine" (Syrah) red 2025

Our commentary : Usually, we prefer to share objective reviews from recognized critics. However, since the quality/price ratio of this wine has impressed us, and there will be none left when the reviews are published, as every year, we allow ourselves to share our impressions, perfectly subjective and interested! This is a very aromatic Syrah, with the characteristic violet nose of the grape variety. Côte-Rôtie lovers will adore this "lighter" version of their favorite AOP. You can feel (and we know, knowing the Gerin family!) that the grapes were harvested at the right moment, neither too early nor too late: perfectly ripe grapes that give this elegant fruity character. Careful aging, in barrels of several wines, brings a particular finesse, almost unexpected in a "small" cuvée. Admittedly, the length is not worthy of a Saint-Joseph, but frankly at this price, this Champine is impressive. Very pleasant right now, this Syrah by Gerin is perfect for summer barbecues, as well as for powerful and spicy winter dishes (and this for the next five years).
