Left Domaine Jamet

Domaine Jamet is a reference point in Côte-Rôtie. Their holdings read like a “who’s who” of top vineyard sites in the AOC, including names like Fongeant, Chavaroche, Les Moutonnes, La Landonne, Côte Blonde, Côte Rozier, and Côte Brune. Like Chave in Hermitage, he generally likes to blend all all the sites together to present a wine that is a truly complete Côte-Rôtie, taking advantage of all that the different terroirs have to offer. (He does reserve a tiny number of berries for a separate Côte Brune bottling that is rarely seen.)

This practice of blending vineyard sites is an old tradition in the Northern Rhone, consistent with Jamet’s general approach in the winery. His Côte-Rôtie is almost all whole cluster. He uses no barriques, opting instead for the larger demi-muids. The other big names who made wines like this in Côte-Rôtie have either retired (Gentaz) or changed course (Guigal). Jamet — specifically Jean-Paul Jamet, who’s been at it since he was a 16 year old boy in 1976 — has stuck it out.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Condrieu Vernillon fermented and matured entirely in amphorae. Loïc Jamet reported that previous samples aged in stainless steel tanks felt rather closed, while aging in old oak vessels made the wines too broad-shouldered. Amphorae served as a smart compromise, infusing their Condrieu with ample freshness while preventing any oak-derived aromas. Indeed, the 2022 Condrieu Vernillon bursts with sapid white peach, apricot, spring blossom and lemon flesh aromas. Medium-bodied with a hint of saltiness on the bright finale, this is a delicious white that should be enjoyed over the next three years." -Vinous

Decanter

D 95
"Already really expressive and bright. Good acidity here, all enjoyably ripe, with fresh peach flavour. Actually quite light in style, not too oily, a very fresh feel on the palate. A blend of lieux-dits Côte Chatillon and Coteau de Vernon, all aged in amphora."
