"The Brune is consistently one of the best wines made at Côte Rôtie." -John Livingstone-Learmonth, The Wines of the Northern Rhône

If you love classic Côte-Rôtie, Jamet is the name to know. For decades, Jamet has been the benchmark of Côte-Rôtie.
Jamet's Côte Brune is his top bottling and painfully rare. It comes from a tiny parcel of old vines.
Today's offer underscores how rare the wine is. There are only two other listings in the country.
Côte-Rôtie is known for being the most finessed, nimble, and Burgundian of the northern Rhône. There is currently no producer in the region that epitomizes Côte-Rôtie with as much classicism, with as much precision as Jamet.
The Côte Brune comes from schist soils and adds a slow-to-evolve sternness and an extra dimension of nuance. The 2019 Côte Brune is an epic vintage of this great wine. There's serious concentration combined with intense verve. It makes the wine impossible to deny. The mineral-saturated purple fruits are complicated by notes of tapenade, herbs, and spice.
It's an utterly captivating wine - a monument to the greatest that Côte-Rôtie has to offer. Don't miss this.
