Here is a superbly rich and smooth wine. Aromas of violets and flavors of blueberries and red cherries along with dusty tannins, give this wine both immediate appeal and the promise of a good long-term future.

For Jean-Michel Gerin, the blending of the different lots which make up this wine was “the most complex of my career.” He has created a wine of great concentration, piercing balanced acidity and ripe, strawberry jelly fruit flavors. It is alreadyattractive to drink, but there is a firm layer of tannin for aging.

With its crisp fresh fruit and deliciously refreshing acidity, this wine from a small parcel of Condrieu owned by Domaine Gerin has a well-judged touch of wood, but is full of ripe white peach and spice flavors. When it has aged for a couple of years, it will be in peak condition.
