About this winery

Located high above the town of Ampuis and the Rhône River, Domaine Jamet produces tiny quantities of stunning Côte-Rôtie. The estate was founded in the 1950’s by Joseph Jamet and he began domaine bottling in 1976. In 1991 his son’s Jean-Luc and Jean-Paul took charge of the business slowly acquiring small parcels to expand the estate. Jean-Luc left in 2013 and today Jean-Paul and his wife Corrine run 7 hectares of beautiful vineyards. The estate is spread across 16 different lieux-dits...

Production notes

The grapes from this harvest were mostly destemmed prior to arriving from the vineyards. The wine was matured for 16 months in oak barrels that had been used to age many previous vintages.

April 2020

Opaque magenta. Ripe blackberry and cherry liqueur aromas are complemented by suggestions of peppery spices, licorice and candied violet. Round, concentrated black and blue fruit flavors show very good delineation, and smoky mineral and cracked pepper elements add lift and back-end cut. Velvety tannins add subtle grip to a spicy, floral-dominated finish that lingers with strong tenacity. This is a small-production wine and crafted in an entirely different fashion than the Jamets’ other Côte-Rôties, which are made entirely with whole clusters. Made from 20-year-old vines and with de-stemmed fruit.
