The sexiest offering, the 2009 Cote Rotie Champin Le Seigneur exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as delicious black raspberry and cherry fruit notes intermixed with cedarwood, forest floor, loamy soil and underbrush notes. This complex, medium to full-bodied, savory, supple-textured wine should be drunk over the next decade.
As have most conscientious producers, Gerin has turned in an impressive performance with his four cuvees of 2009 Cote Rotie.
