| | Xavier Gerard is an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with in the Northern Rhône. Having assumed control of his family’s impressive holdings in Cote-Rotie and Condrieu with the 2013 vintage, Xavier has been steadily honing his craft since that time. His wines emphasize elegance and precision. This is a great example of what Cote-Rotie should be like. Hailing from the Estates best parcels of his holdings (Mollard lieu-dit, Font-Jean, Vialliere and La Landonne), it is elegant, soft and seductively drinking great now and it will age wonderfully for two decades. It shows great purity of the fruit and is flat-out delicious! |
| | | ‣ "Wonderfully fresh and expressive, with a touch of black pepper hiding among the menthol and deep, dark berry fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, this has stacks of rich, sweet berry fruit and driving acidity, then ends neat and precise. Very well-integrated oak brings a spicy complexity, but the site is more prominent than the method. Arguably not as deep as 2015, but this is nonetheless a hugely enjoyable wine. A blend of lieux-dits Le Mollard (near Cote-Blonde), La Vialliere, La Brosse and La Landonne. Drink between 2022-2035.” 97 Matt Walls, Decanter, Oct 2021
