A rare opportunity to experience the power of Jamet Côte-Rôtie through a vertical tasting.
Domaine Jamet respects the terroir and a passion for wine in its work, in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie hills, home to some of the most thought provoking Syrah’s in the world. It took about 30 years for Jamet to gain the popularity it enjoys today. They are uncompromising in there philosophy and practices. Not driven by scores and wine writers, but by quality and conviction alone. Jamet Côte-Rôtie is produced from twenty parcels and essentially in whole bunches, the wine is subsequently kept in barrels for 22 months. The assemblage, a key word for Jean-Paul Jamet, with the variety of terroirs, exposure and the age of the vines all complementary elements that combine their strengths. This is a benchmark wine for many of South Africa’s top Syrah producers. You will here the name Jamet mentioned with respect when tasting with these winemakers, many of whom have spent at least one harvest with Jean-Paul. You’ll even hear some claiming that Porseleinberg 2018 is the most Jamet-like of all South African Syrah’s.
