For a short 2km stretch where the Rhône river turns a sharp right at Vienne, you’ll find the dramatic vineyards of Côte-Rôtie carved into steep terraces of granite and slate. 

The vineyards face south-east, avoiding the late-afternoon burn from the sun, and the steep slopes ensure maximum exposure for the grapes.

It’s breathtaking. Then you taste the wines, and wonder how on earth they can deliver such colour, power and complexity, at just 13% alcohol. 

And that’s the magic of wine for me. Nowhere else in the world can it taste just like it does from here.

Put €10 down today, and you’ll get a case of northern Rhône’s finest delivered in a month’s time. In it you’ll get:

• 1x Domaine Gerin Côte-Rôtie Champin le Seigneur 2023 - a blend of 11 tiny parcels across slate and granite soils. This is exactly what great Côte-Rôtie should taste like: big, oaky and leathery on the nose, with cassis and florals that you could sniff all day! It’s dense and juicy on the palate, with a balanced and long finish. 5% of Viognier adds lift and even more aromatics
• 1x Domaine Gerin Condrieu La Loye 2023 - from the equally tiny Condrieu appellation just down the river, this is your chance to try one of France’s greatest white wine regions. The nose is incredible - it’s all apricots, nectarines and florals, while the palate is intense, pure and silky, with an incredibly long and satisfying finish
• 2x Domaine Gerin La Champine Syrah 2024 - a Vin de France that punches way above its price point. This is from a small vineyard at the bottom of the slopes - literally the other side of the road of Côte-Rôtie. Aged in stainless steel tanks for maximum fruit expression, it’s pure, juicy and joyful Syrah at just 12.5% alcohol
• 2x Domaine Gerin La Champine Viognier 2023 - a fresh, aromatic and balanced white, it’s peachy, honeyed and creamy. You could call it a baby Condrieu - amazing value too.
