About this Item

Côte-Rôtie 2010
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. 2010 was an outstanding northern Rhône vintage, one of the greatest of recent decades. Neal Martin from Vinous gave it a rating of 97, and Tom Parker MW gave it 18.5+ out of 20.

Critics Ratings

“It was twinned with a 2010 Côte-Rôtie from Domaine Jean-Paul, Corinne & Loïc Jamet that is exquisite. Black fruit, piped tobacco, smoke, incense and black olives unfold with seemingly each swirl of the glass. Not as powerful as the Chave, yet perhaps even more complex. The palate is intense, beautifully defined and focused, slightly ferrous on the entry. A garrigues-tinged middle with finely chiselled tannins and a voluminous, but detailed finish, this is an awesome Côte-Rôtie.” - Neal Martin, Vinous, 97/100 (Sep 2022)

“Deep, rich and smoky, there is a spicy, peppery, dark-fruited character to the 2010. This wine shut down for some time in its first decade but is now delivering brilliantly. Surprisingly fine and fresh given the dark fruit and rich structure, this shows superb delineation of fruit, game, dried herbs and pepper. Still crunchy, powerful and long, it will likely continue to improve in time and deserve a higher score.” - Tom Parker MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5+/20 (Oct 2022)
