Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie 2008 is a traditionalist masterpiece from one of the most respected producers in the Northern Rhône. In a cooler vintage like 2008, Jamet excelled by producing a wine of incredible aromatic complexity, featuring scents of red berries, rose petals and white pepper. The palate is lithe and precise, reminiscent of a fine Burgundy in its elegance and transparency. It avoids the heavy oak influence often found in modern Côte-Rôtie, focusing instead on a nervy mineral snap and a persistent, floral-dominated finish.
