WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS!  
JEAN-LUC JAMET IS AN ICON AND CELEBRATED RHONE PRODUCER, MAKING SOME OF THE MOST EXEMPLARY EXAMPLES OF COTE ROTIE AVAILABLE.

"Loads of violet character and leather with a touch of earthy funk on the finish. Loads of expressiveness here – full of the first flush of youth. You’d have to have tolerance for that reductive element, but for me, the fruit intensity more than makes up for it. " - Jancis Robinson

"The Côte-Rôtie “Les Terrasses is bold and structured, with a spectrum of red-to-dark berry fruit alongside an iron earthiness.

What makes the Côte-Rôtie wines from Jean-Luc Jamet so special is his ability to blend more than ten different plots from the best, northern sites (considered the most qualitative) of Côte-Rôtie. These include Lancement, La LandonneBonnivières and Les Rochains. It is a mosaic of complex, rocky soils composed of different degrees of schist and granite which underpin the wine's stunning depth of character. These are the many shades that you'll find in this delicate and very complex wine. 

The bouquet is bold and structured, with a spectrum of red-to-dark berry fruit alongside an iron earthiness. The palate delivers waves of dark berry fruit, savoury cured meat across the mid-palate, before bakers spice and menthol on the aftertaste. Enjoy with hearty dishes like red meat-driven lasagne and ragu. Drink now with a one-hour decant before serving or lay down till 2030." - Winery Notes
