Domaine Jamet
About Domaine Jamet
Domaine Jamet is a producer in the northern Rhône known for its classical Côte-Rôtie wines. With vineyards situaed near Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde, their plantings are nearly all Syrah, with small amounts of Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne.
The Domaine was founded by Joseph Jamet, who in 1950 acquired a tiny plot of land and began selling fruit to négociants. Domaine Jamet began bottling its own wines in 1976 and, following Joseph's retirement, his sons Jean-Luc and Jean-Paul took over the family business. In 2013, the brothers agreed to split their parcels between them. Today, Domaine Jamet managed by husband and wife Jean-Paul and Corinne Jamet, along with their son, Loïc, who joined in 2015.
In addition to vineyards inherited from the father of Jean-Paul Jamet, they have also acquired additional 20ha of vineyards in Condrieu. A family estate producing a boutique portfolio, their wines are truly collectables among oenophiles.

Decanter (97)Elegant, perfumed, floral nose. This is generous, fresh and beguilingly complex already. It's dark and brooding but brimming with fruits, spices, flowers, a touch of smoke and graphite with a remarkably mineral, salty finish. Serious, but beautiful. |

Wine Advocate (98-100)Lovers of Côte Rôtie shouldn't bother waiting for reviews of this bottling—just try to get as much as you can every year. The 2017 Cote Rotie Cote Brune should be bottled by the time you read this, but at the time of my visit, it was still in barrel. Aromatically, this has it all—violets, stems, cracked pepper, amazing fruit. It's full-bodied, dense and absolutely packed, yet it comes across as silky, lithe and engaging, with tremendous length and complexity on the finish. Always a thrill to taste out of barrel, it does firm up after bottling, so try to resist the urge to pop a cork before 2025 or so. |

Wine Advocate (93-96)The 2017 Cote Rotie was still in separate lots when I visited, yet I came away with remarkably similar impressions from the Gerine (fragrant charming and silky) and le Plomb (taut, intense and structural) as I did last year. A number of other lots will go into the final assemblage (Chavaroche, Fongeant, Lezardes and several more, probably including La Landonne). There's more cracked pepper and violets on the nose of the 2017 than the 2018 and also a touch more crispness and tension on the palate. |
