Jamet Cote Rotie is managed by two brothers, Jean-Paul Jamet and Jean Luc who took over producing Jamet Cote Rotie from their father in 1991. According to the brothers, the character of Jamet Cote Rotie comes from vines planted in 25 separate vineyards on the Cote Blonde and Cote Brune. In total, these vineyards add up to an impressive 8 hectares.
Jamet Cote Rotie is available in two different two Cote Rotie wines. The standard cuvee, which comes from a myriad of parcels, which varies from vintage to vintage and a single vineyard wine produced from .5 hectares on the Cote Brune. Jamet Cote Rotie retains a large portion of stems, the percentage differs depending on the vintage.
Jamet Cote Rotie is aged in 20% new oak. The remaining wine is aged in oak barrels ranging from 3 to 10 years of age for close to 22 months. Cote Brune is aged in 35% new oak barrels for 22 months.
Jamet Cote Rotie is a beefy, animalistic, masculine, structured, peppery and powerful style of Cote Rotie that ages well and develops complexity with time. The Cote Brune is a less interesting wine, without the same level level of complexity or charm.

2005 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie
-
Medium bodied, fresh, bright, tannic, with ample levels of kirsch, black raspberry, earth, strawberry and pepper, the wine needs a few more years to come together.

1999 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie
-
Attention grabbing scents of jammy blackberry, violet, garrigue, wet earth and bacon fat are present. On the palate, the wine is big, concentrated, tannic, animalistic and brawny. The wine finishes with dense, fresh cherry girotte. After 2 hours in the glass, the wine softened and morphed from sweet and sour, sauvage to more of a delicate, array of cherries. Still young, this will improve over the next few years.

Cherry blossoms, honeydew, kirsch, spice, cloves, bacon fat, earth, beef blood and stone make up the complex perfume. Bright, fresh, sappy, red fruit with supple textures ends with a refreshing black cherry filled finish. This powerful, masculine wine has continued evolving and improving since it first arrived in bottle. At 12, this Cote Rotie is ready to enjoy tonight and over the next 10-15 years.

Kirsch, pepper dried fruits, bacon fat, earth, licorice and cherries make up the perfume. Full bodied, powerful and structured, with freshness along with dusty tannins, the wine finishes with a smoky cherry sensation. This needs another 2-3 years before it reaches full maturity.

Incredibly concentrated with intense levels of very ripe, sweet, dark fruit. Meaty, beefy, big and bouncy this has a lot going on. Multiple layers of black fruit flood your palate.

Animalistic aromatics, spice and black fruit. Still tannic. Concentrated, rustic, brawny and masculine in style. This needs a few more years before coming around.

1995 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie
-
With scents of grilled meat and barbecue beef, garrigue, kirsch, iron and spice. The palate enjoys full bodied sensations of ripe, peppery cherries and black raspberries. This Rhone wine has moved into the prime time drinking stage. Like many 1995 Rhones, there is an austere character to the wine.

Black raspberries, grilled meat, smoke, bacon fat, earth, spice, pepper and herbs grab your attention, and keep you focused on what's in your glass. Powerful and stuffed with a wild, masculine, personality, the wine offers ample freshness and purity. The meaty finish is filled with ripe black cherries, pepper and Provencal herbs. This beautiful expression of Cote Rotie is drinking perfectly today.

1988 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie

Smoked meat, kirsch, herbs and coco aromatics. Full bodied and chewy with a slight hint of acidity accompanied by an ending note of tart dark berries. With time, the wine the tartness morphed into an exotic melange of dense, chewy, ripe red and black fruit.
