Patrick Jasmin, Cote Rotie La Giroflarie 2021

Description

About the Producer

Patrick Jasmin operates a family-run winery in Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, where he cultivates grapes on steep, terraced vineyards. As the fourth generation to manage the domaine, he emphasizes traditional winemaking practices while embracing the challenges of the rugged terrain. The vineyards are primarily planted with 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, with a focus on preserving the ancient Syrah variety known as “la vieille sérine.” Patrick vinifies grapes from different parcels separately, blending them before bottling to create a balanced Côte-Rôtie. His commitment to terroir and minimal intervention contrasts with modern trends, resulting in wines that gain complexity with age.
