Jean-Luc Jamet Cote Rotie Pirate 2020

$13999

In 2013 the Jamet brothers split the family domaine, and Jean-Luc - the one who had spent his career out in the vineyards - walked away with half the vines and started over under his own name. Pirate is the wine he made to prove the point. It's his flagship: a blend assembled from across his Cote-Rotie holdings, weighted toward La Landonne, and he refused to bottle it until he was satisfied he'd found the right combination, with the 2016 the first release. Production runs to only a few hundred bottles a year, so it moves fast. The 2020 is full-bodied and structured, clearly built for the long haul - give it a decade and it will thank you. For anyone who loves the northern Rhone, this is a bottle worth the wait.

More about Jean-Luc Jamet

The name Jamet is sacred ground for lovers of Côte-Rôtie. For decades, brothers Jean-Paul and Jean-Luc Jamet ran the famed domaine together—Jean-Paul in the cellar, Jean-Luc in the vines. It was Jean-Luc who shaped much of the domaine’s raw material, farming some of the region’s top slopes with extraordinary care.

When the brothers parted ways in 2013, Jean-Paul retained the Domaine Jamet name. But Jean-Luc kept a remarkable share of the family vineyards—including top parcels in Lancement, Chavaroche, and Le Plomb—and launched his own label, Jean-Luc Jamet, shortly after.

Some in the community frowned upon this break-up and regarded Jean-Luc as a bit of a renegade. Jean-Luc decided to lean hard into that and called his flagship Côte-Rôtie the “Pirate”, sourced from all his top sites.

Although Jean-Luc follows his brother's traditionalist philosophy, he does focus more on elegance and less on tannic extraction. The result is Côte Rotie, which is a little more approachable at a younger age.
