Côte-Rôtie Oléa Jasmin (Domaine) 2016

About the Producer Jasmin

Patrick Jasmin represents the fourth generation of winegrowers in his family. He has been working at the vineyard he now runs with an expert hand since 1978. His 6-hectare property in Ampuis, birthplace of the finest Côte-Rôtie wines, is planted 95% to Syrah and 5% to Viognier. He practises sustainable viticulture, with low yields, and takes a somewhat artisan approach, carrying out all tasks on the steep hillsides by hand. He vinifies his grapes parcel by parcel and intervenes as little as possible. Patrick Jasmin favours aromatic finesse over power. His wines are elegant and supple with a very fresh and refined range of aromas that perfectly express the terroir's distinctive character. élevage processes are extensive (around 24 months) and light touch. These wines are very nice to drink young but also have excellent ageing potential.
