2021 Côte-Rôtie
Domaine Jamet
“Quel panache!” reads the tasting note on this bottling in one of France’s leading daily papers. Panache, indeed, not to mention lifting floral aromatics, salivating bacon fat, and lightly smoked olive notes that are otherworldly. The Jamet family will humbly write this all off as merely part of the terroir, which—while holding much truth—understates the family’s virtuosic touch here, ever precise and meticulous. The Jamets never got the memos on trends, tastes, and fads over the last fifty years. Those have all come and gone while they’ve thankfully just done their thing, which they say is simply giving a voice and expression to their terroir; I say it’s making Côte-Rôtie like no one has ever made Côte-Rôtie before. It really is that good.

2021 Côte-Rôtie “Les Roses”
France | Northern Rhône
Delicate and perfumed, it speaks softly, yet it has so much to say: lilies, bacon fat, spices... it could only be Côte Rôtie.
2022 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
Dark and earthy with an inky grip, it offers the region’s renowned refinement with a more approachable price tag.
2021 Crozes Hermitage “Tiercerolles”
France | Northern Rhône
This juicy, blueberry-and-leather-infused Syrah with a long finish is ready to drink tonight.
2020 Côtes du Vivarais Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
Aromas of black pepper, briny black olive, and violets with the earthiness, herbs, and concentration of southern Rhône Grenache.
2021 Saint-Joseph Rouge “L’Instinct”
France | Northern Rhône
It is a real-deal northern Rhône roasted-slope Syrah that walks the tightrope perfectly between creamy fruit, meaty tannins, and fresh spine.
2021 Cornas “Renaissance”
France | Northern Rhône
Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.
2020 Côte-Rôtie “Fongeant”
France | Northern Rhône
This cuvée is sourced exclusively from the Fongeant lieu-dit, which sits right on the border of the Côte Blonde and Côte Brune, and is renowned for sharing the best of both.
2022 Vin de France Blanc “Cuvée de Louis”
France | Northern Rhône
Golden, luscious aroma and flavor, a delicious nectar infused with honeysuckle that invites you in at first sniff for a leisurely dip.
2021 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
A thick perfume of dry-aged meat, smoke, and violets preface a wine that is powerful, but in perfect proportion.
About The Producer
Domaine Jamet
Jean-Paul Jamet began his career in the vineyards of Côte-Rôtie in 1976 at the age of 16, working with his father, Joseph, who bottled his first wine that year. Jean-Paul told us that he often found himself working alongside one of our former growers Marius Gentaz, whose vines in Côte Brune bordered his own. With the 2016 vintage, Jean-Paul celebrated his 40th year growing and vinifying Côte-Rôtie. His experience with his enviable collection of sixteen (soon to be nineteen) lieux-dits spread across the best sites of the appellation has given him deep knowledge of how to unlock the greatest expression of Côte-Rôtie from its wide spectrum of terroirs. This savoir-faire makes Jamet the modern day master of the appellation.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
