Domaine Jamet  (Côte-Rôtie)

This gem was worth waiting for. Clearly in the zone, the wine screamed with its smoky nose filled with bouquet garni, sage, peppery red fruits, and raspberries, the wine is full-bodied, intense, long, zesty, and vibrant. There is length, purity, power, and character that does not want to stop. No decanting needed, just pop and pour, drink from 2022-2035.

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.

Perfume consisting of rich, deep black and red fruits soaked in bacon fat soars from the glass. Very meaty and beefy. This wine drank well without much airtime.

A perfume redolent of juicy ripe fruit dripping in bacon fat, a sexy, meaty mouthfeel and long finish combined to make a great wine.

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.
