{"product_id":"domaine-jamet-cote-rotie-2023","title":"Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 2023","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Land\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCôte-Rôtie means \"roasted slope\" — the south-facing granite hillsides above Ampuis in the northern Rhône where Syrah reaches its most compelling expression in France. Jamet farms 8.5 hectares across 25 parcels in up to 17 lieux-dits, the majority on the Côte Brune, whose iron-rich brown schist produces darker, more structured wine than the lighter mica-schist of the Côte Blonde. The blend of both côtes — along with a small co-fermented Viognier component, traditional in the appellation — gives the wine its completeness: structure from the Brune, aromatic lift from the Blonde, and the floral thread that Viognier contributes when used in small proportions. Yields are held at or below 35 hectoliters per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSyrah from 25 parcels, with a small co-fermented Viognier component. Approximately 90% whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, three-week maceration, 22 months in demi-muids and older barrels with less than 15% new oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. The 2023 was Côte-Rôtie's strongest vintage in the northern Rhône that year, described as fresh, precise, and hauntingly complete. Dark blackberry, violet, smoked meat, white pepper, and iron-laced earth, with supple tannins and a long, saline finish. Cool September nights preserved aromatics and acidity after an August heat spike — the result is a wine that has both generosity and definition, which is not always easy to achieve in a warm year. It can be opened now with proper decanting, but it is built to age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe People\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Jamet family has farmed in Côte-Rôtie since 1950, when Joseph Jamet started with 0.35 hectares. His son Jean-Paul took over in 1991 and built the estate's reputation for classically proportioned, age-worthy Syrah that owes nothing to fashionable winemaking. Jean-Paul now farms alongside his wife Corinne and son Loïc. When you see Jamet on a wine list, it is one of a handful of names in the northern Rhône that requires no further explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrilled lamb rack with olive tapenade, braised short ribs with root vegetables and thyme, duck breast with cherry and black pepper reduction, or aged Comté with crusty bread. A wine that warrants a special occasion — or makes one out of an ordinary evening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149811060959,"sku":null,"price":236.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P6170384.jpg?v=1781755891","url":"https:\/\/danverwinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-jamet-cote-rotie-2023","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
