Domaine Jamet Cote Rotie 2021 750ml

The Jamet family continues their tradition of excellence with this 2021 C?te-R?tie, where decades of experience translate into wines of breathtaking complexity and finesse. Their assemblage of multiple parcels creates a complete portrait of the appellation, balancing power with the elegance that defines great C?te-R?tie.

The wine opens with pure, focused aromatics - black raspberry and violet lead, with Viognier adding its characteristic lift. As it develops, layers of complexity emerge: black olive, white pepper, and smoked meat, all underscored by profound minerality. The cooler 2021 vintage has produced a more elegant, perfumed style that emphasizes aromatic complexity. The palate delivers precision and depth; silky tannins support concentrated fruit flavors, while vibrant acidity and mineral notes create exceptional length.

Jamet's traditional approach, including whole cluster fermentation and aging in neutral oak, allows the terroir to dominate. This 2021 showcases the family's ability to craft compelling wines even in challenging vintages - a C?te-R?tie of unusual refinement that will reward both patience and earlier consumption. For those seeking benchmark traditional C?te-R?tie, Jamet remains an essential producer.
