[SOLD-OUT] Jean Luc Jamet Cote-Rotie Les Terraces 2019

 

 

"The star of the show is the 2019 Côte Rôtie Terrasses, which can thought of as a hypothetical mix of the 2017 and 2018, with perhaps a nod to the 2017. Both red and black fruits, peppery herbs, dried flowers, graphite, and a beautiful sense of minerality define the bulk of the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with fine, building tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. From a vintage that produced ripe, tannic wines, this stays balanced and pure and is loaded with potential" 96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

 

"The 2019 Cote Rotie Terrasses features scents of mocha, black olives, toast and black cherries on the nose. It's nicely ripe and supple on the medium to full-bodied palate, finishing silky and elegant. It might lack the aromatic fireworks of some Côte Rôties, but it's a fine, down-the-middle example of the appellation." 92 Points - Robert Parker

 

"Jean-Luc Jamet is an undeniable icon and celebrated producer, crafting some of the most exquisite wines in Côte-Rôtie. Originally working with his brother Jean-Paul, at the family's famed Domaine Jamet estate, the pair parted ways in 2013. The vineyards, comprising of 16 prime hectares in Côte-Rôtie and Côte du Rhône, were divided equally.

 

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 Landonne, Bonnivières 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." - Clos Cachet
