2019 | Domaine Jamet | Cote Rotie (Magnum)

A complex, assertively perfumed bouquet evokes smoky, mineral-accented blackberry, cherry, olive, violet candy and cracked pepper.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: I tasted the final blend of the 2019 Cote Rotie from tank, where it was awaiting bottling. It retains the essential elegance and complexity that typifies Jamet's Cote Rotie despite the warm summer; floral nuances combine with hints of wood ash and purple raspberries on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is velvety in texture and the flavors linger on the finish. It strikes me as being a touch less impressive than other recent vintages, but perhaps it will bounce back after bottling.

• Vinous: A complex, assertively perfumed bouquet evokes smoky, mineral-accented blackberry, cherry, olive, violet candy and cracked pepper. Sweet, focused and penetrating on the palate, offering intense black and blue fruit, floral pastille and cola flavors that steadily flesh out with aeration. The smoke and floral notes come back emphatically on a strikingly long, smooth finish that's given shape by fine-grained, slowly mounting tannins.

Producer Information

Domaine Jamet is a well-regarded wine producer based in Ampuis, in the winemaking heart of the northern Rhône, and best-known for its classical Cote Rotie wines. The estate comprises approximately seven hectares (17 acres) of vines planted in a number of small plots in the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde subregions of the Côte Rotie. 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. The brothers parted ways in 2013 and today the domaine is managed by husband and wife Jean-Paul and Corinne Jamet, along with their son, Loïc, who joined in 2015. This date also coincided with the domaine's purchase of 20 hectares (50 acres) of vineyards in nearby Condrieu.
