Goedhuis, October 2020
Deliciously savoury aromas mingle with autumnal forest scents and bright red berry fruits. A high class wine that shows a tightly-knit tannic core and a mineral edge that sits comfortably under the sweet fruit. Rich, broad and full, a very pleasing wine.

Jean-Luc worked for many years alongside his brother Jean-Paul at the much-vaunted family estate, Domaine Jamet. In 2013, the brothers decided to split the 16-hectare estate evenly and go their separate ways. Jean-Luc was always in charge of the vineyards and today he and his son Benoit tend to vines located on the famous slope’s most enviable terroirs. The top cuvee, the Côte Rôtie Terrasses, is a blend of the appellation’s top lieux-dits including La Landonne, Lancement and Chavaroche. After a few years of selling the grapes to pay for investments in the winery, the domaine has only very recently started bottling. Jean-Luc has hit his stride with the 2018 vintage and the Côte Rôtie Terrasses has all the characteristic finesse and brightness you’d expect from a top example, such is the lure of this appellation. As Rhône expert John Livingstone Learmonth puts it, “This is no pretension, authentic Rôtie”. Jean-Luc also makes a stunning Côtes-du-Rhône from 100% Syrah. We thoroughly recommend discovering this domaine and its top drawer examples of Syrah. It's a delight to see the talented Jean-Luc back at it again. It won't be long before these wines are propelled into the limelight.Read less

Region
Côte Rôtie
Only a red wine appellation, Côte Rôtie is the most northern of all Rhône appellations and is produced mostly from Syrah, although Viognier may contribute up to 20% of the blend. Its terroir is divided into two categories. Côte Brune's soil is comprised of iron-entrenched granite giving thesoil a rich red-brown colour. As a result, it creates wine of notable power and concentration that usually needs time in the cellar to soften and develop. Heading south down the slope towards Condrieu, one encounters Côte Blonde, an area comprised of decomposed schist and mica that is lighter in colour and tends to produce elegantly styled wine for earlier consumption (most of the area's Viognier is grown here). Many traditional producers of Côte Rôtie feel that their best wines are a blend of the two.
