Domaine Jamet (Côte-Rôtie)
Clearly, the wine and I have improved since I lasted it, as this is a knockout bottle! The nose, with its smoked cherry, crushed stone, leafy herb, tobacco, and red fruits. Concentrated, balanced, fresh, and showy, the distinctive character and lush quality in the long finish ties everything together. Drink from 2022-2040. 3,949 Views Tasted Oct 25, 2022Medium bodied, spicy, fresh, lively red fruits, spice box, earth, olive tapenade and leafy forest notes, medium bodied, with a bright, crisp red fruit finish. Far too young, this needs at least 3-5 years to come together. 4,411 Views Tasted Dec 15, 2014 |
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.
