Vignoble Jean-Luc Jamet

Jean-Luc Jamet worked for many years alongside his brother Jean-Paul at the family estate, Domaine Jamet, before setting off on his own in 2013. He now works a total of eight hectares with his son, Benoit: five hectares of Côte-Rôtie, two of Côtes-du-Rhône and one hectare of Vin de Pays. Currently undergoing extensive renovations, the estate can be found on the plateau at Le Vallin, an impressively windy drive above the slopes of the Côte Rôtie. His flagship wine is the Côte-Rôtie Terrasses and is receiving increasing interest – though his generic labels should not be over-looked. He is even experimenting with non-Rhône varieties under his IGP labels.

True to the ’20 vintage, Jean-Luc Jamet’s wines showed beautiful intensity, purity and freshness. While we tried his ’20 Terrasses, he doesn’t sell it En Primeur, so we’ll have to wait until next year to purchase. In the meantime, we offer his powerful but elegantly balanced 2019.
