Xavier Gerard is a legend-in-the-making, and this is your chance to discover him before the rest of the world catches on. Since taking over his family's small estate in 2013, he has rapidly become one of the most talked-about young producers in Côte-Rôtie, crafting wines of stunning purity and perfume from incredibly steep, granite-and-schist parcels that he farms organically. His approach brilliantly fuses old-school reverence for terroir with modern-day precision, tailoring every decision to the vintage to ensure the most transparent expression of place possible.
