The finesse and texture of a red wine from the Rhône Valley

The property

Among the emblematic figures of the Northern Rhône Valley, the Domaine Jean-Michel Gérin stands out as one of the most fervent ambassadors of Côte-Rôtie. Heir to a lineage of winemakers established for six generations, Jean-Michel Gerin founded his own estate in 1983, before reviving the family estate under his name. Thanks to his exemplary dedication and universally recognized talent, he has managed to elevate his estate to the rank of a global reference.
