Domaine Jamet Cotes du Rhone Blanc 2022

Domaine Jamet is a reference point in Cote-Rotie. Their holdings read like a “who’s who” of top vineyard sites in the AOC, including names like Fongeant, Chavaroche, Les Moutonnes, La Landonne, Cote Blonde, Cote Rozier, and Cote Brune. Like Chave in Hermitage, he generally likes to blend all the sites together to present a wine that is a truly complete Cte-Rtie, taking advantage of all that the different terroirs have to offer.

The fruit is sourced from a high plateau above Ampuis. None of the fruit is destemmed before pressing. The Viognier and Roussane is vinified in stainless steel while the Marsanne and Grenache Blanc is vinified in barrique (5% new). The resulting wine is aged 50% in stainless steel and 50% in barrique for 9 months.
