2021 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge
Domaine Jamet
Allow us to introduce a perfect wine for elevating dinner gatherings: Domaine Jamet’s knock-your-socks-off pure Syrah Côtes-du-Rhône. A pinnacle producer in northern Rhône, Jamet’s bottling goes above and beyond with fruit from Ampuis, just outside the appellation’s designation. Dark and earthy with an inky grip, it offers the region’s renowned refinement with a more approachable price tag. Serve with your favorite one-pot meal featuring anything from pasta, to braised beans, to chicken thighs—the possibilities are plenty!—and prepare for deliciousness.

2023 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Les Ribaudes”

2023 Saint-Joseph Rouge

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.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
