  • Robert Parker, February 2001, Score: 86

    Wine Advocate #133 (Feb 2001) Robert Parker 86 points Drink 2001-2009Nearly all of Garon's wine is made from the Cote Blonde, the southern half of the Cote Rotie hillside. This is a finesse, fruit-driven, superficial effort that is charming and accessible. Once past the overlay of attractive black cherry and smoky raspberry fruit (the wine is aged completely in barrel, of which a modest percentage is new), there is not much depth or length. Consume it over the next 6-8 years. This is a young grower who is worth following.

Producer

Jean-François and Carmen Garon

This is a small steep 2.5 hectare domaine, just south of Ampuis, run by Jean-François and Carmen Garon and their son Fabien. Due to their small size, they make only one wine, with everything done by hand in the traditional way. No more than 20% of the wood used is new.

Region

Côte Rôtie

Only a red wine appellation, Côte Rôtie is the most northern of all Rhône appellations and is produced mostly from Syrah, although Viognier may contribute up to 20% of the blend. Its terroir is divided into two categories. Côte Brune's soil is comprised of iron-entrenched granite giving thesoil a rich red-brown colour. As a result, it creates wine of notable power and concentration that usually needs time in the cellar to soften and develop. Heading south down the slope towards Condrieu, one encounters Côte Blonde, an area comprised of decomposed schist and mica that is lighter in colour and tends to produce elegantly styled wine for earlier consumption (most of the area's Viognier is grown here). Many traditional producers of Côte Rôtie feel that their best wines are a blend of the two.
