Although the 1994s are supple, compared with the 1995s, they are less well-endowed, without the latter vintage's fruit and intensity. The 1994 Cote Rotie Les Grandes Places is riper and more muscular than the Champin Le Seigneur, and cuts a deeper feel on the palate. The wine exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, black olive, cassis, and cedar notes in the nose, a sweet, firmly-structured, powerful entry on the palate, medium body, and loads of tannin in the finish. It may always taste a trifle austere and muscular, but it is a good to excellent effort.Over recent years, Jean-Michel Gerin has emerged as a high quality producer of Cote Rotie. There are usually two cuvees, the cuvee classique called Champin Le Seigneur, and the luxury cuvee of Les Grandes Places. In 1995, another cuvee, from extremely young vines, Champin Junior, was added.Importers: Langdon Shiverick, Cleveland, OH; tel. (216) 861-6800 and New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel.
