About this Item
Jean-Paul Jamet is arguably the leading producer in Côte-Rôtie and his approach has not changed over more than 40 vintages. He continues to produce hauntingly beautifully, but remarkably traditional wines. The wines of Domaine Jamet appeal to wine lovers around the world seeking classic, tensioned wines that show honesty and the soil in which they are grown. One of the most traditional wine producers in Cote-Rôtie, Jean-Paul blends 25 parcels, mostly from the Côte Brune, and uses little new oak and most of the stems. His maturations are longer than most and his wines are released later than other producers. Jean-Paul is slowly handing over custodianship of one of France’s great domaines to his son, Loïc.

Critics Ratings
‘Possessing more stuffing than the '12 (but maybe not its purity and seamlessness), the 2009 Côte-Rôtie offers tons of cassis, black raspberry, incense, peppery herbs and violets in a ripe, full-bodied, richly textured style. It shows the warmth of the vintage, yet still has plenty of Côte-Rôtie flair. Although, those craving the more perfumed, elegant side to Côte-Rôtie will need to give this another 5-7 years in the cellar as it's showing mostly fruit at the moment.’ – Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Sep 2015)
