Domaine Jamet (Côte-Rôtie)
Animalistic, forest, earth, herbs, exotic spice, dark kirsch liqueur and stone make up the complex perfume. On the palate, it's pure cherries coated with fresh, sharp, cracked black pepper. This is one spicy Cote Rotie that is ready to drink. 5,102 Views Tasted Aug 7, 2011Animalistic aromatics, spice and black fruit. Still tannic. Concentrated, rustic, brawny and masculine in style. This needs a few more years before coming around. 4,356 Views Tasted Apr 2, 2008 |
When to Drink Domaine Jamet, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine Jamet, when young, should be decanted at least 1-3 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Domaine Jamet is usually better with 10-12 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 10-25 years of age.
Serving Domaine Jamet with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Domaine Jamet is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.
Domaine Jamet is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes, tomatoes, eggplant, and sausage. Domaine Jamet is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
