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.

One of the all-time greats from this estate is the still inky colored 1999 Cote Rotie. From a hot year that had many vignerons struggling with vinification issues, Jean-Paul compared 1999 to 2009 more than once. Sensationally rich, concentrated and full-bodied, it reveals a classic bouquet of pepper, smoked herbs, black currants and licorice. One sexy Cote Rotie that's just hard to resist, it's drinking perfectly today but will evolve nicely for another decade or more.Inc. TAX€6,434.77 -
Vinous (97)
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.Inc. TAX€2,435.73€2,225.74 -
Vinous (91)
Bright purple. Textbook Syrah aromas of dark berries, olive, cracked pepper and smoky bacon carry a subtle floral topnote. Silky and sweet on the palate, offering juicy blackberry and cherry flavors and a touch of candied violet. Finishes on a spicy floral note; smooth tannins shape the clinging finish.Inc. TAX€536.77 -
Vinous (91)
Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Fresh dark berry and floral pastille aromas are complemented by hints of black pepper and licorice. Juicy and supple in style, offering energetic blackberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors that firm up on the back half. The long, smooth, subtly sweet finish features harmonious tannins and a touch of smokiness.Inc. TAX€482.92 -
Vinous (92)
Opaque violet color. Aromas of ripe, smoke-tinged dark berries and fresh flowers are sharpened by building mineral and spice notes. Spicy and broad on the palate, offering juicy blackcurrant, cherry and violet pastille flavors with subtle olive and cracked pepper flourishes. Tightens up with air and finishes spicy and long, displaying fine clarity, even tannins and repeating florality.Inc. TAX€570.37 -
Vinous (93-95)
Inky magenta. Highly expressive aromas of red and blue fruits, violet, incense, olive and baking spices, along with a smoky mineral top note. Stains the palate with vibrant, sharply etched black raspberry, blueberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors that slowly deepen and become sweeter with air. Shows very good power but comes off lithe, showing no rough edges on a long, gently tannic finish that leaves behind sappy blue fruit and black pepper notes.Inc. TAX€2,063.82 -
Decanter (92)
A rare Côtes-du-Rhône from the northern Rhône, the vines grown near Ampuis. It's a medium-bodied, bright and attractive white with lovely balance between generous plump fruit and inner tension. Good acidity for a 2016 white, and lovely lift from the Viognier.Inc. TAX€640.52 -
