Côte-Rôtie Jamet 2009 is a Syrah from the renowned Côte-Rôtie appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley. This wine is crafted from a meticulous blend of grapes sourced from the estate`s various parcels. The 2009 vintage is marked by its intense sun exposure, which contributed to high phenolic maturity. Made using whole-cluster fermentation, the wine showcases flavours of dark fruit, black olive and hints of spice, supported by firm tannins and a mineral backbone.

Vinous
Opaque purple. Explosively perfumed scents of red and dark berries, potpourri and Asian spices, with black pepper and mineral nuances gaining strength with air. Juicy and expansive on the palate, showing intense black raspberry and blueberry flavors and an exotic touch of candied violet. Finishes sweet and very long, with resonating spiciness and florality. This winter I also had the chance to retaste the 2008 and 2007 versions of this bottling: the '08 is a graceful, lively, open-knit wine that's showing intense, still-primary red fruit now, with good depth and finishing cut, while the '07 conveys a darker fruit profile and more tannic grip. At this point it looks like the '08 is the one to drink now, if you're the impatient sort.Josh Raynolds1st March 2012
