2023 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
Domaine Jamet
In theory, this is Jamet’s entry-level bottling, but after one sniff you’ll realize there is nothing basic about it. Sourced from excellent terroirs in and around Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu, and aged 11 months in old barriques, this Syrah is so classy and perfectly balanced. With notes of dark fruit, black olives, and smoked meat, it epitomizes elegant Syrah from the northern Rhône. We are only able to import a tiny amount—don’t miss it!

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.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
