Côte-Rôtie 2000 - Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie 2000 - Domaine Jamet

Presentation of the Jamet estate

The first vintage from the Jamet estate dates from 1976. It is therefore in just a few decades that this estate has risen to the level of the best estates producing wonderful wines in the northern Côtes du Rhône. Today, Jean-Paul Jamet has succeeded his father at the head of the estate, alongside his wife Corinne and his son Loïc.

Made from a whole Syrah harvest, never destemmed and aged for 22 months in barrels in only 15% new wood, this cuvée is a blend of 20 plots, 15 of which are in a locality, Côte-Blonde is one of them.

The wines from this estate and particularly the Côtes-Rôties are made to age for decades. If you are a fan of very great Syrah, this opportunity will not come up frequently.

The 2000 vintage in Côte-Rôtie: The north is the big winner

A contrasting vintage in the Rhône valley. The significant rains favored high volumes and less concentrated wines than the previous great vintages (1998 and 1999).

The northernmost appellations, which include Côtes-Rôties, produce very beautiful fruity, supple wines with great aromatic complexity.
