2021 Domaine Jamet, Cote Rotie 1x75cl

Vinous 93

The 2021 Cote-Rotie fermented with roughly 90% whole-clusters. Fragrant raspberry jam, crushed violets, cedar and licorice rise up from the glass. Spicy undertones and stemmy gradations add more layers. Framed by velvety tannins and balanced by bright acidity, this is a finessed Jamet with plenty of energy. Albeit not as concentrated and deep as the 2020 or potentially the 2022, the elegant 2021 dazzles regardless. [Nicolas Greinacher, 28/03/2024]
