{"product_id":"domaine-jamet-cote-rotie-cote-brune-2023","title":"Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie Cote-Brune 2023","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Land\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCôte-Brune is one of the two named slopes that give Côte-Rôtie its identity, running along the northern edge of the appellation above Ampuis. The soils here are brown iron-rich schist — denser and darker than the mica-schist of the Côte Blonde to the south — and the wines reflect it: more tannic, more concentrated, and slower to open. The Jamet Côte-Brune is a single-parcel wine drawn from approximately one hectare of pure schist terrain. It is the only single-lieu-dit Jamet has produced since 1976, and the fact that it has remained a separate bottling for fifty years is itself a statement about the parcel's character. Yields are held very low, as they are throughout the estate, and the combination of site and farming produces a wine that sits at a different level of extraction and structure than the estate's classic Côte-Rôtie blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Syrah, same winemaking approach as the estate blend: approximately 90% whole-cluster, indigenous yeasts, three-week maceration, 22 months in demi-muids and older barrels with less than 15% new oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Where the estate blend gains nuance from parcels across both côtes, the Côte-Brune is pure schist, and it shows — darker fruit, firmer tannin, more iron and earth in the finish. Black cherry, smoked meat, violets, crushed slate, and white pepper. The 2023 vintage was Côte-Rôtie's strongest in the northern Rhône that year, fresh and precise, with cool September nights preserving aromatics and acidity after an August heat spike. The Côte-Brune rewards patience more than almost any other wine in the Jamet lineup; give it at minimum eight to ten years.\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. Jean-Paul now farms alongside his wife Corinne and son Loïc. The Côte-Brune is the most limited and serious wine the family produces, made only in years when the parcel warrants a separate bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVenison loin with juniper and beet reduction, braised oxtail with root vegetables, aged hard cheeses with honeycomb, or a simple roasted leg of lamb with garlic and thyme. A wine built for the table, not for standing around with a glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50150112788703,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P6170383.jpg?v=1781755829","url":"https:\/\/danverwinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-jamet-cote-rotie-cote-brune-2023","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
