Domaine Xavier Gérard – Côte‑Rôtie 2021
Côte‑Rôtie 2021 from Xavier Gérard is exactly what a young, vibrant northern Rhône should be. In the glass, it shows a beautiful red ruby color, bright and full of life.
The nose is classic Gérard: dark berries, violets and a touch of smoked meat. Pure, elegant and already very expressive for such a young vintage.
On the palate, the wine offers nicely integrated tannins and a gentle, soft minerality. It’s tasty, balanced and leaves a clean, satisfying impression at the palate — a young beauty indeed.
Visiting the domaine in November is always a pleasure, and this year will be no exception. Gérard’s wines keep their charm vintage after vintage.
Cheers !
