2022 Domaine Jamet, Côte-Rôtie 750ML

94–96 points — Barrel range from leading Rhône critics including Jeb Dunnuck and Vinous (vintage assessments).

Domaine Jamet remains one of Côte-Rôtie’s defining traditional estates, crafting wines that capture the appellation’s signature tension between power and aromatic finesse. Sourced from numerous parcels across both the schistous Côte Brune and lighter Côte Blonde slopes, the 2022 reflects a warm yet balanced Rhône vintage, delivering Jamet’s hallmark perfume, savory complexity, and finely etched structure.

Blend: ~100% Syrah (with a small traditional co-fermentation of Viognier typically under 5%).

Tasting Notes: Intensely aromatic, opening with crushed blackberry, violets, smoked meat, olive tapenade, and cracked black pepper. The palate layers dark raspberry, cassis, graphite, and savory herbs, framed by subtle oak spice and Côte-Rôtie’s distinctive floral lift. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with polished tannins and persistent spice.

Structure: Elegant yet structured; layered, aromatic, and built for graceful aging.

Drink Window: 2027–2045.

Decanting:
If opened young, allow 1–2 hours in a decanter to soften the tannins and reveal the wine’s floral and savory nuances. With additional bottle age, a brief decant will be sufficient to remove sediment and allow the aromatics to expand.

The 2022 Jamet Côte-Rôtie is a quintessential expression of the northern Rhône—perfumed, savory, and deeply expressive. For collectors, it remains one of the most reliable benchmarks of traditional Côte-Rôtie, offering both early aromatic charm and the structure to evolve beautifully in the cellar.
