2022 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.

2023 Crozes-Hermitage Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
This small parcel has a fruit-forward, approachable style, yet with intense spice and licorice in there as well, perhaps from the deep-rooted old Syrah vines.
2024 Saint-Joseph Blanc “Clef de Sol”
France | Northern Rhône
This perfect mix of acidity and unctuous texture gives persistent floral notes with a long almond finish.
2022 Saint-Joseph Rouge
France | Northern Rhône
The greatest southern Saint-Josephs recall the wines of Hermitage, and the greatest northern examples resemble Côte-Rôtie. André’s are certainly among the finest, and always have great density despite their seeming weightlessness and elegant bouquet.
2024 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah “Les Hautes Ribaudes”
France | Northern Rhône
With lovely notes of currant and violets, this bright, crunchy wine is irresistible in its youth. Serve cool with just about anything.
2023 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
Expansive savory aromas, meaty, broad, velvety tannins, grandness, ripeness and freshness, all at once. Only in Hermitage!
2021 Côte-Rôtie
France | Northern Rhône
The pinnacle of traditional Côte-Rôtie being produced today.
2023 Ardèche Syrah “Syrah Mauve”
France | Northern Rhône
Young vines in Mauves, short maceration, stainless-steel aged... but definitely no simple Syrah!
2001 Côte-Rôtie
France | Northern Rhône
**Extremely limited quantities, maximum two bottles per purchase.**
2022 Côte-Rôtie “La Boisselée”
France | Northern Rhône
Made from six vineyards that, when blended, showcase the whole of the Côte Rôtie appellation.
2023 Cornas
France | Northern Rhône
Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability
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.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
