Their 2020 Côte-Rôtie is a blend from about 25 different plots. It's a brilliant black-fruited, black olive, blackjacked rendition with mineral drive and a smoky, lavender-laced finish. There is so much depth here and it's undoubtedly 'Côte-Rôtie at its finest', says Wine Spectator. 'The entry-level, non-Côte-Rôtie wines deliver outstanding value compared to their big brothers and give quite a good glimpse at the domaine's style' (VIN).

Whilst revered for their reds, Jamet offers two scarce white wines – the 2021 Vernillon from Condrieu and the 2021 Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc. '2021 was a fantastic vintage for Viognier/Condrieu,' notes Jancis Robinson. Both wines are classically styled with tension, purity and depth and come highly recommend. 'Savvy consumers know not to overlook the excellent white wines here,' says the Wine Advocate.
Famous Condrieu is the northernmost white-wine appellation in the Rhône. Jamet's Vernillon is 100% Viognier and the brainchild of Loïc, who studied in Beaune, Burgundy and has a love for mineral white wines. First made in 2015, it is rarely seen on the market, yet always enthrals with its citrus blossom freshness, complex fruit and mineral lift. Their Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc is a blend of mostly Marsanne and Viognier with smaller percentages of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. It always shows beautiful floral, pear and citrus aromatics with great energy and a spicy finish.
As a special offering, we have some 2019 Jamet Côte-Rôtie available along with a Vernillon in this Jamet Mixed Pack.
