In any year, Jamet's Côte-Rôtie is one of the great wines of the northern Rhône. However, something special happens to Jamet in brisker and more classical vintages. Anyone fortunate enough to have tasted their 1991 Côte-Rôtie can attest to this.
As time has gone by, Allemand's 2016s have impressed us more and more.
The 2020 Reynard is a showstopper. The wine has a shocking combination of power, purity, and detail.
The intention was to significantly depart from the winemaking of the flagship Côte-Rôtie. Fructus Voluptas sees little to no stem inclusion and is sourced from younger vines. This yields a more fruit-driven and immediate lens to view Jamet's winemaking.
There's a punchy minerality with ultra-precise savory notes and bright red fruits.
Chave's wines are some of our favorites, and we have a particular soft spot for his Saint-Joseph. Along with Pierre Gonon, Chave produces our favorite expression of Saint-Joseph. Chave's St. Joseph is something we cellar each vintage.
Xavier Gérard has maintained a low profile, but he's among the most talented winemakers in the northern Rhône.
The heights that Jean-Paul Jamet reaches has few peers in the entire northern Rhône.
The Chave family is Rhône Royalty.

Jamet's Côte-Rôties are long-standing benchmarks of the northern Rhône. The heights that Jamet's Côte-Rôties reach have few peers in the entire northern Rhône.
It's early in the game, but it's very likely that Chave produced the greatest northern Rhône wine in 2017. Of course, this isn't a surprise. The Chave family is Rhône royalty.
I reached deep into our Rhône inventory and checked out what we have from Provence and Languedoc as well. You'll find Allemand Reynard, mags of old Tempier, Verset, and plenty of other rarities.
For me, we're entering the prime season for Rhône wines. With that in mind, I took a spin through our inventory to compile the list below.
Clape's Cornas reveals something essential about the appellation. The wines are pillars of Cornas and I buy them whenever I have the chance.
Chave’s masterful Hermitage is the crown jewel of the Northern Rhône. There’s simply no better expression of Syrah on the planet.
The 2016 Cuvée Renaissance is poised to be one of the best vintages of the wine that we've tasted in the past decade. Clape is one of the benchmarks of Cornas, renowned for his bone-crushing and long-lived style.
I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to reload on Jean-Luc Jamet 2015 Côte-Rôtie Terrasses Our initial offering in the spring sold out quickly, it's nice to have more to offer. If you missed the original offer, I strongly advise you snap some of this up. There's little hope of landing another parcel.
There's simply no better expression of Syrah on the planet than Chave's Hermitage.
Jamet's Côte-Rôties have few peers in the entire Northern Rhône. It's pretty much that simple. They are amazingly elegant, precise and clear.
Along with Pierre Gonon, Chave produces our favorite expression of St. Joseph. Few producers are able to render Syrah with as much depth, detail and sophistication.
Last week, we introduced the Côte-Rôtie of Jean-Luc Jamet. By the afternoon, we were sold out and allocating bottles. Today, we're happy to offer Jean-Luc Jamet's glorious 2015 Côte-Rôtie Terrasses.
