2000 Cote Rotie Champin Seigneur

The seductive, lush, concentrated 2000 Cote Rotie Champin Le Seigneur offers up copious quantities of sweet black raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with caramel, vanilla, and a hint of honeysuckle. This is a medium-bodied, silky-textured, luscious, modern-styled Cote Rotie to enjoy over the next 5-7 years. The president of the syndicate of Cote Rotie growers, the young, dynamic, and talented Jean-Michel Gerin continues to build a strong following for his progressive, modern-styled, barrique-aged Cote Roties. Gerin’s 2000 Cote Roties are extremely successful (he eliminated 60% of the crop through severe pruning and grape cutting in the vineyard). Like all his wines, they were bottled unfined and unfiltered. Importers: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463 and Langdon-Shiverick, Cleveland, OH; tel. (216) 861-6800
