Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 2015

The Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 2015 is a standout vintage, combining the warmth and depth of the year with the estate’s signature precision and restraint. From steep, schist-rich slopes, this pure Syrah shows ripe dark fruit, black olive, spice and subtle floral lift, supported by silky tannins and natural freshness.

Richer and more generous than cooler vintages, yet always balanced and composed. This is Côte-Rôtie with both presence and finesse.

Already highly expressive, yet with the structure to evolve further. A compelling choice for those who want a great wine at the right moment — with confidence.

Jeb Dunnuck - 97

The 2015 Côte Rôtie was scheduled to be bottled not long after my visit. This is an undeniably great vintage at this address, even if Jean-Paul prefers his 2016s, calling 2015 “too much.” It’s worth pointing out that he thought the same about his 1991, which is a borderline perfect wine today. The 2015 sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with searing notes of pepper, smoked meats, flowers, and assorted black and blue fruits. With full-bodied richness, a concentrated, thick mid-palate, sweet, yet present tannin, and a huge finish, this is a wine to back up the truck for. A warning, however – it’s not for those looking for instant gratification.

Vinous - 97

Lurid violet color. Assertive blackberry, licorice pastille, smoky bacon and potpourri scents are complemented by a strong mineral overlay. Seamless and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit liqueur, cola and floral pastille flavors and a strong jolt of exotic spices. Finishes with repeating mineral, smoke and dark fruit character, with noticeable but well-knit tannins and superb tenacity.

Robert Parker - 96

Significantly more closed and muscular than it appeared from barrel, the 2015 Cote Rotie is a long-term proposition. It’s not showing a lot of charm or elegance at this juncture, but it’s massively rich and ripe, with plenty of weight on the palate, chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Like I wrote last year, it might start to drink well at age 10, although it might need even longer.

Jancis Robinson - 17.5

Cask sample. Subtle, integrated stemmy notes. Supple tannins, sweet oak, black cherry, rounded and long and just sublime. (RH)

Domaine Jamet

Domaine Jamet is one of the most respected producers in Côte-Rôtie, known for its traditional approach and pure expression of Syrah. Founded in the 1970s by the Jamet family, the estate has built a strong reputation through meticulous vineyard work and a focus on terroir over modern winemaking trends.

The vineyards are spread across multiple lieux-dits on the steep slopes of Côte-Rôtie, where schist-rich soils and careful farming define the style. Every step, from vineyard to cellar, is guided by restraint and precision, resulting in wines of finesse, complexity and authenticity.

Terroir

Côte-Rôtie, one of the jewels of the Northern Rhône, is a wine region of unparalleled beauty and complexity, renowned for its steep vineyards and breathtaking terroir. This iconic appellation, situated on the sun-drenched slopes along the Rhône River, offers an exceptional combination of climate and soil, making it ideal for the cultivation of Syrah, often complemented by a small addition of Viognier.

The vineyards of Côte-Rôtie benefit from a unique southeast-facing exposure, where the steep terraces maximize sunlight absorption. The soils, rich in schist and granite, contribute to the refined mineral structure of the wines, while the proximity to the river provides a temperate microclimate that protects the grapes from extreme temperatures.
