About this Item
Côte-Rôtie 2012
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Domaine Jamet is one of the great names of Côte-Rôtie in the northern Rhône, revered for its perfumed, structured Syrah grown across dozens of parcels on the appellation’s steep schist slopes. Its Côte-Rôtie, a blend drawn from many small holdings across the hill, is regarded as one of the benchmarks of the appellation. 2012 was a very good, more supple and approachable northern Rhône vintage. Jeb Dunnuck from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gave it a rating of 96, Josh Raynolds from Vinous gave it 94, and Tom Parker MW gave it 18 out of 20.

Critics Ratings
“The 2012 Cote Rotie is smoking good and should be up with the top wines from this estate. Inky colored, full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, it offers classic pepper, violets, bacon fat, olive and sweet cassis-like fruits. Opening up with time in the glass, it has the approachable, supple feel of the vintage, yet has more than enough mid-palate depth and fine tannin to keep it drinking beautifully for another two decades.” - Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Sep 2015)“Deep ruby. Complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red and dark berries, incense, violet and cracked pepper, along with a vibrant mineral overtone. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering intense blackberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors that stretch out slowly with air. This concentrated yet lively Côte-Rôtie finishes with superb clarity and even tannins.” - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 94/100 (Dec 2014)
“In full flow on both the nose and the palate, the 2012 is gorgeous right now. Silky blue fruit, smoked bacon and fresh black pepper – you couldn’t be anywhere else. Whole-bunch spice mingles perfectly with cool but ripe fruit and fine, persistent tannins. Seductive and juicy but refined and spicy at once. Very long finish. Excellent.” - Tom Parker MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Oct 2022)
