"Deep magenta. Lively black raspberry, cherry liqueur and floral scents are sharpened by building spice and mineral flourishes. Sweet, seamless and focused on the palate, offering juicy red and blue fruit preserve and floral pastille flavors and a hint of cracked pepper. The smooth, sharply delineated finish features rounded tannins, a resonating dark berry note and shows strong, subtly smoky persistence. This bottling is made from younger vines and almost all of the fruit is de-stemmed, allowing for earlier drinking. It was originally intended to be sold exclusively to restaurants but private clients' demands became too frenzied for the Jamets to ignore. Without question, the hottest ticket in Côte-Rôtie over the last few years has been Domaine Jean-Paul, Corinne & Loïc Jamet’s wines. Prices are going through the roof on the secondary market, especially at auction. The Jamets carry no blame for that aside from the fact that they have been making some of the best wines in France for some time now, which, naturally, has drawn plenty of attention. Corinne and Jean-Paul Jamet’s son, Loïc, is steadily assuming a more important day-to-day role here, both in the vines and cellar. Burgundy-educated Loïc Jamet will soon find his own voice with the wines. In the meantime, nothing has changed in the style of the wines, which in 2018, 2019 and 2020 are among the best bottlings in the region. Assuming they can be found anywhere close to their opening prices (good luck), the entry-level, non-Côte-Rôtie wines deliver outstanding value compared to their big brothers and give quite a good glimpse at the Domaine’s style."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
