Côtes du Rhône Jamet (Domaine)

The wine

Jean Paul Jamet, du domaine Jamet en Côtes du Rhône septentrionales, s'apparente à un compositeur de symphonies, tant il aime associer le meilleur de la diversité des terroirs, des expositions, de l'âge des vignes pour créer des vins complexes et uniques. Cette syrah en est une belle illustration, composition juste de vingt parcelles disséminées sur quinze lieux-dits (Fongeant, Côte Blonde, Landonne, Côte Rozier, Plomb, Chavaroche, Moutonnes, Lésardes, Gerine, Truchet, Leyat, Bonnivières, Côte Bodin, Tartaras, Rochins), tous appartenant à l'appellation Côte-Rôtie.
Ce vin tout en nuances ajoute d'intéressantes notes florales (violette notamment) à la trame classique de fruits noirs et de poivre noir. Sa robe profonde et intense se pare de reflets rubis.
Ses tannins soyeux et fondus donnent à ce vin élevé 22 mois en fûts (dont une toute petite proportion de fûts neufs) un beau potentiel de garde : il faudra attendre ce vin de longues années en cave pour qu'il dévoile toute sa complexité.

Information about domain Jamet

Domaine Jamet was established in the early 1950s. Until the Côte-Rôtie went through a revival at the start of the 1970s it was planted primarily with fruit trees. In the early days, harvests from the vineyard were sold to the region's main négociants, but Joseph Jamet began producing his own wine in 1976. The property went on to be managed by Joseph's two sons, Jean-Paul and Jean-Luc, who both raised it to the highest of standards. In 2013, Jean-Luc, who until then had been responsible for the vineyards, left the business. It is now run by Jean-Paul and his wife Corinne. Their son Loïc is also increasingly involved having studied viticulture and oenology and spent time in South Africa. The property's 17 hectares of vines are planted on 16 lieux-dits including the renowned Côte Brune. The grapes are harvested as late as possible to allow the berries to achieve optimum ripeness.
