Côte du Rhône Équivoque
2020
Surplombant la ville d'Ampuis et le Rhône, le Domaine Jamet produit un Côte-Rôtie sensationnel en quantités infimes. Les deux frères se partagent le travail et au cours des quinze dernières années, Jean-Luc et Jean-Paul ont déployé de nombreux efforts pour améliorer le domaine.

Saturated ruby. Spice-tinged aromas of ripe red and dark berries and pungent flowers, with a smoky nuance emerging as the wine opens up.

Whole bunch element is deeply buried in the beautiful fruit purity alongside black pepper and smoke. Very fine graphite tannins, good acidity, slightly raised alcohol, but such a great wine. Real depth and power from these schistous vineyards. Two parcels next to Cognet and Tartaras. 100% whole bunch. Two years élevage, 5% new oak.

Medium-bodied, very fresh, no over-ripeness. Structured, saline, plenty of thrust and direction, with a saline, snappy, fairly dry tannins. Edgy - needs time. Not made in every vintage. Grown just outside lieu-dit Tartaras and lieu-dit Germine. Whole bunch fermented, aged in 2-year-old barrels.

It shows the ripeness of the vintage, but it’s balanced and already hard to resist.
