DOMAINE JAMET

Côte Rôtie 2016

- 97 points -

10% destemmed in 2015 and 10% new oak. A tasting of various barrels, most containing combinations of different selections of his 20 lieux-dits, mostly on schistous soils. All were strongly characterful and quite different. The overall impression is a juicy, concentrated vintage, expressive not only of the warm year but also of different lieux-dits. The barrel of La Landonne, Côte Blonde and Côte Rozier was particularly impressive, with incredible concentration and energy, mouth-coating tannins; strict yet round, floral and fresh. 2018-2032
