Côte-Rôtie La Landonne Jean-Michel Gerin 1999 is a notable expression of Syrah from this esteemed northern Rhône vineyard. The wine showcases distinctive black tea and a mineral backbone, indicative of the region’s granite soils. Rich notes of dark fruit linger, suggestive of both maturity and complexity. The vintage reveals a well-defined structure, with tannins that are present yet integrated. Jean-Michel Gerin, based in Ampuis, has made a name for himself by emphasising traditional methods, producing wines that reflect the terroir of Côte-Rôtie.
