About

The Domaine Jamet is managed by Jean-Paul Jamet and his wife Corinne. Jean Paul took over from his father in 1991. According to him, the character of the wine comes from vines planted in 25 separate vineyards on the Cote Blonde and Cote Brune. Jamet is a beefy, animalistic, masculine, structured, peppery, and powerful style of Côte-Rôtie that ages well and develops complexity with time. - Importer Note

Tasting Notes

Opaque ruby. Vibrant blackberry, cherry, incense, Moroccan spice, potpourri and smoky mineral qualities on the expansive, seductively perfumed nose. Offers vibrant black and blue fruit, spicecake, olive and floral pastille flavors that show bright detail and energetic mineral lift. The floral and spice notes recur strongly on the youthfully gripping finish, which features mounting tannins and lingering smokiness.
