title: Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin 2013 Les Grandes Places  (Côte Rôtie)
description: Gerin's lieu-dit wines from 2013 are both successful. Les Grandes Places is muscular but not musclebound, combining finesse and elegance with elements of roasted meat and grilled fruit. After 20 months in new oak, the nose reveals hints of baking spices, but those are balanced by blueberry and pepper elements. Drink 2018–2028.
