Critics Ratings

2012 - ‘(100% syrah): Brilliant ruby. Sexy dark berry and floral scents, along with hints of licorice and bitter chocolate. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering spice-accented blueberry and bitter cherry flavors and a suave floral pastille quality. The floral element builds on the persistent finish, which is framed by smooth tannins. Jean-Paul Jamet told me that this wine, which is a great introduction to the house style at a gentle price, gets essentially the same cellar treatment as the Cote-Rotie but is bottled earlier.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 90/100 (April 2014)

2013 -‘Opaque ruby. Intense aromas of blueberry, black pepper and licorice show very good lift and clarity. Sappy and broad on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, offering juicy dark fruit flavors that pick up a spicy element with aeration. Fine-grained tannins give shape to the long, appealingly sweet finish, with the peppery note echoing. This wine is a fantastic introduction to the Jamet style at a very easy price.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 90/100 (Dec 2014)
