Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 2015
Ready — youthful
Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 2015 is drinking well now and into the next decade. The 2015 has the generosity the vintage delivered across the Northern Rhône, but Jamet’s restraint keeps it precise — dark fruit, black olive, iron, violet. The tannins have softened without losing grip; the structure remains. This is not a wine that needs further patience, but it will reward it. Drink now–2045. Sourced in excellent condition.

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 has worked the steep slopes of Côte-Rôtie since the 1970s, assembling fruit from multiple lieux-dits across both the Côte Brune and Côte Blonde.
The wine is aged in older oak for an extended period — the emphasis is on integration, not extraction. No concessions to modern style. The result is Syrah that reads as place before it reads as fruit.
Terroir
Côte-Rôtie is defined by its gradients — slopes steep enough to require hand-harvesting, with soils of schist and granite that drain fast and retain heat. The distinction between Côte Brune and Côte Blonde, iron-rich versus lighter granite soils, runs through the appellation’s identity. Jamet draws from both.
The southeast exposure and thermal mass of the rock give Syrah here its combination of ripeness and structure — qualities that allow these wines to develop over fifteen years or more.
What others say after opening the bottle
I like that I can buy good wines here without allocations. The bottles I’ve opened were exactly where they needed to be. Jannes his advice felt honest and personal, which helped me decide. Delivery was careful and straightforward. K. Loesberg
I spoke with Jannes before ordering because I wanted additional photos of the bottle, and that gave me confidence. The wine was ready to drink. Being able to buy single bottles for the occasion instead of full cases suits me well. Everything arrived perfect. T. Driessen
What I appreciate most is not having to guess anymore. I prefer to buy wines that are in the middel of their drinking window. Jannes's guidance was calm and helpful, and the delivery was handled with care. J. Annaert
Jannes helped me choose for a special food pairing, and the whole process felt easy and trustworthy. I don’t have a cellar to store wines for years. Buying loose bottles in their drinking window is a big advantage. Shipping was good. B. Denruyter
After opening too many wines too early in the past, this feels different. The timing has been spot on. I like the freedom of buying without allocations and choosing single bottles. Delivery has been consistently good. R. Bontemps
The advice from Jannes made the selection feel personal, not generic. The wine I ordered for Christmas was exactly as expected. I didn’t need a full case, so buying individual bottles works well. Everything arrived safely and on time. D. Smits
Great to enjoy wines without second-guessing. Jannes his advice helped narrow things down, and I appreciate being able to order just a few bottles. Delivery is good, quick and well handled. W. Snijders
This suits how I drink wine now. I don’t want to wait years or buy cases. The bottles arrive ready, the advice is solid, and the process feels dependable from start to finish. A. van Kempen

Private Access, Without the Noise
Beyond the public selection, I occasionally source wines available in very small quantities — offered privately, or never formally listed. Through the Club Grandcru WhatsApp channel, these bottles are shared directly and selectively: mature vintages, single parcels, and bottles that never reach the open market.
