Tasting profile
An elegant, silky Syrah with a complex nose of sweet garden aromas, olives, garrigue and earthy undergrowth, leading to layered flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, blueberry and smoky cherry accented by vanilla. Beautifully balanced and spicy with exceptional length, it drinks well now with decanting but rewards further aging.

Summary
Inky black in color with a powerful nose of bacon fat, smoke and spice. Huge mouthfeel, a wine with power and sustainability.
Jean-Michel Gerin Les Grandes Places Côte-Rôtie is a French red made from Shiraz Syrah. The vineyard region is Côte-Rôtie, France. At $189 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $120-and-up band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,133 other reds from France, not against the corpus as a whole. 488 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 494 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Jean-Michel Gerin Les Grandes Places Côte-Rôtie lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 488.
