2012 | Domaine Jamet | Cote Rotie

Deep ruby. Complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red and dark berries, incense, violet and cracked pepper, along with a vibrant mineral overtone.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Tasted from bottle, the 2012 Côte Rôtie is a rock star that’s hard to resist now, even though it won’t hit maturity for another decade. Olive, pepper, underbrush and sweet cassis-like aromas and flavors all flow from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated and textured 2012. Showing both the gamy, wild and perfumed style of Côte Rôtie, yet also fantastic purity, it has the approachable, rounded feel on the vintage and can be consumed anytime over the coming 15+ years.

• James Suckling: The nose has a complex array of fine-ground eastern spices, strong cardamom, fine dark chocolate, ripe black cherry and plums. There's even some liquorice. It has a neatly composed and elegant feel on the palate; it really flows long, rippling with spicy flavors and a smooth, dense and creamy finish. Best from 2028 for a decade or more.

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.
