Côtes du Rhône Blanc
2022
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. Les Jamet possèdent 8 hectares de vignes dont l’âge moyen varie entre 25 et 50 ans. Ils ne détiennent que 25 parcelles époustouflantes qui sont vinifiées séparément. Les rendements sont...
Pale yellow. Ripe pear, lemon pith, honeysuckle and a hint of succulent herbs on the perfumed nose. Chewy and broad on the palate, offering concentrated, mineral-tinged citrus and orchard fruit and honeysuckle flavors that firm up steadily with air.

A generous vintage for this wine, with a gorgeous, lifted lime and orange blossom nose, a touch of jasmine from the Viognier. Good acidity and sense of tension allied with a sapid finish makes for a drinkable style. Very good white option for 2018.

Showing more Marsanne character, the 2018 Côtes du Rhône Blanc is another rich, yet also fresh white that displays lots of white flowers, honeysuckle, hints of brioche, and peach aromas and flavors. It's another food-friendly, rounded, supple, beautiful white.

I always love the Côtes Du Rhône Blanc from this estate and the 2020 is another gem. (Production was around 8,000 bottles, so hopefully readers will be able to find some.) Based on mostly Viognier and Marsanne, with some Grenache and Roussanne, it’s a fresh, citrus, peach, and floral white that has medium-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It’s a joy to drink.
