Jamet's Côte-Rôties are long-standing benchmarks of the northern Rhône. We're going to keep this short.
We left this off of Friday's northern Rhône list. It's a bottle that we're so fond of that we felt that it demanded its own offer.

The heights that Jamet's Côte-Rôties reach have few peers in the entire northern Rhône.
Jamet hits a level of gracefulness and agility that’s reminiscent of Burgundy. This is Côte-Rôtie in full glory, flaunting a poised and detailed expression of minerals, herbs, spice, savory elements, and florality. The aromatics simply soar.
They are amazingly elegant, precise, and clear. It's pretty much that simple.
The 2016 is one of the most exciting vintages of Côte-Rôtie that we've ever seen from Jamet. The easiest way to situate it stylistically is to say that it's a cross between 2010 and 2015. It's powerful and deep while having a driving minerality and pristine verve. The combination is a dream brew.
Before closing, I should mention that our parcel is smaller than it has been in previous vintages and that we expect a quick sell-out. Please give us your ideal order and we'll try our best.
