2021 Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge
Domaine Jamet
Allow us to introduce a perfect wine for elevating dinner gatherings: Domaine Jamet’s knock-your-socks-off pure Syrah Côtes-du-Rhône. A pinnacle producer in northern Rhône, Jamet’s bottling goes above and beyond with fruit from Ampuis, just outside the appellation’s designation. Dark and earthy with an inky grip, it offers the region’s renowned refinement with a more approachable price tag. Serve with your favorite one-pot meal featuring anything from pasta, to braised beans, to chicken thighs—the possibilities are plenty!—and prepare for deliciousness.

2022 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
France | Northern Rhône
With notes of dark fruit, black olives, and smoked meat, it epitomizes elegant Syrah from the northern Rhône?.
2023 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
France | Northern Rhône
This one is spice- and mineral-driven, speckled with black pepper and dark hunks of dusty granite. It is nearly all terroir with a touch of tart blackberry to fill in the spaces.
2022 Côtes du Rhône
France | Northern Rhône
It tastes like the grapes were prompted, gently but insistently, to eke out the pure essence of Syrah. Extremely limited availability.
2021 Saint Joseph Rouge “La Gloriette Vieilles Vignes”
France | Northern Rhône
Made from vines planted between 1937 and 1976, this cuvée showcases impressive depth and soul.
2021 Cornas
France | Northern Rhône
Majestically dark and brooding Cornas, layered with aromas of herbs and mint. Extremely limited availability
2020 Côte-Rôtie “Les Roses”
France | Northern Rhône
Layered and textural, this tightly bound opus will open and unfurl itself with time, be it an hour in a decanter or decades in the cellar.
2021 Ardèche Syrah “Syrah Mauve”
France | Northern Rhône
Young vines in Mauves, short maceration, stainless-steel aged... but definitely no simple Syrah!
2020 Hermitage Rouge “La Pierrelle”
France | Northern Rhône
Elegance and restraint from one of the hill’s lesser-known terroirs.
2021 Cornas “Renaissance”
France | Northern Rhône
Young vines yield a Cornas that opens up sooner than Clape's flagship cuvée.
About The Producer
Domaine Jamet
Jean-Paul Jamet began his career in the vineyards of Côte-Rôtie in 1976 at the age of 16, working with his father, Joseph, who bottled his first wine that year. Jean-Paul told us that he often found himself working alongside one of our former growers Marius Gentaz, whose vines in Côte Brune bordered his own. With the 2016 vintage, Jean-Paul celebrated his 40th year growing and vinifying Côte-Rôtie. His experience with his enviable collection of sixteen (soon to be nineteen) lieux-dits spread across the best sites of the appellation has given him deep knowledge of how to unlock the greatest expression of Côte-Rôtie from its wide spectrum of terroirs. This savoir-faire makes Jamet the modern day master of the appellation.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
