It reveals a deep and precise bouquet of blueberry and ripe dark berries, complemented by delicate floral nuances. Medium- to full-bodied, racy and finely structured, it is layered with a crystalline, enveloping core of fruit framed by beautifully chiseled, fine-grained tannins. Precise and elegant, it exudes the essence of La Landonne and of Côte-Rôtie itself, combining contained power with remarkable refinement. The finish is long and mineral, marked by subtle notes of fresh licorice. This is a very Jamet expression of this site that promises to be a landmark wine and one of the superb wines of the vintage in the making.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-goWbiv loNZbm\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmong the reference estates of Côte-Rôtie, Domaine Jamet occupies a position that requires little argument. From some 8.7 hectares divided among approximately 25 parcels—among them Côte Rozier, Le Plomb, Chavaroche and Côte Blonde, concentrated largely within the commune of Ampuis and extending toward the upper reaches of the appellation near the plateau above—the domaine has, since Jean-Paul Jamet began assembling its constituent holdings in the late 1970s, produced wines that remain as close to the historical idiom of Côte-Rôtie as any in the appellation. That fidelity is not mere conservatism; it reflects a coherent set of choices, sustained across generations, about what these slopes are capable of expressing and how best to render that expression legible in the glass.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe viticulture is classical in orientation—low yields, meticulous canopy management, entirely manual work on the steep terraced slopes that the appellation's topography demands—and the cellar follows the same logic. Whole clusters feature routinely in the fermentations, extractions remain moderate and élevage proceeds in barrel with a restrained proportion of new oak, calibrated to provide framework without obscuring the personality of individual terroirs. The resulting wines privilege aromatic complexity, structure and energy over sheer mass: lifted floral aromatics, peppery Syrah character and a certain sauvage nuance in youth, underwritten by the balance and architectural integrity that allow them to age gracefully over decades.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe domaine has continued to evolve under Loïc Jamet's influence without departing from its essential identity. In 2015, an expansion into Condrieu produced whites fermented in amphorae and terracotta vessels, emphasizing purity and freshness over oak influence. In 2018, the introduction of a La Landonne cuvée—sourced from vines planted in 1987 on that famed slope—added a more site-specific, brooding and austere expression to the range, one that demands patience but promises exceptional longevity. Within the Côte-Rôtie lineup, the Côte Brune parcels continue to produce the estate's most structured and profound wines, capturing the darker, more mineral register that distinguishes that sector from the more aromatic Côte Blonde.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2023 vintage suits Jamet's style with unusual precision. The season's natural acidity and freshness amplify aromatic complexity while ensuring that the wines' inherent density never resolves into heaviness—a combination of depth and lift that captures the enduring appeal of this domaine's Côte-Rôties at their best. Jean-Paul Jamet's decision to wait for full aromatic maturity, with harvest running from 25 September through 5 October, proved well-judged: the resulting wines show the equilibrium and completeness that distinguish a vintage well-handled from one merely well-survived. The 2023s rank, without qualification, among the finest wines Jamet has produced in recent years, and they're among the finest of the appellation this vintage.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-goWbiv loNZbm\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points Vinous Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDrinking window:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2028\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2040\u003cbr\u003eThe dashing 2023 Côte-Rôtie Landonne jumps at you right away, opening with pronounced spice box notes, wild dark cherry, dried violets, forest strawberry and finely expressed fleshy nuances. Floral and spicy, the 2023 glides across the medium to full-bodied palate with remarkable agility. So potent yet utterly light on its feet, the 2023 draws out with stunning finesse on a long, profound finish that stretches on for minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasting at Domaine Jean-Paul, Corinne \u0026amp; Loïc Jamet is always one of the highlights of my entire year, and this visit with Loïc Jamet was no exception. The lineup builds gradually in intensity and finesse, beginning with the fruit-forward 2024 and 2023 Côtes-du-Rhône, both immediately engaging. The 2023 Côtes-du-Rhône Équivoque brings an extra layer of juiciness and polish, already reflecting the estate’s unmistakable touch. My first impressions of the 2024 Côte-Rôtie, drawn from several parcel samples, are of a cool-toned, finely chiselled style, each component contributing its own inflection of spice, florality or mineral clarity. The 2024 Côte Brune narrows the beam even further with its gradual aromatic expansion and impressive savoury depth. Moving into bottled wines, the brilliant 2023 Côte-Rôtie shows seamless fruit and effortless finesse, while the 2023 Landonne broadens the frame with greater scale and sculpted precision. The pinnacle is the 2023 Côte Brune, glowing with aromatic vibrancy and remarkable lightness of touch, a wine so pure and enticing that resisting it young will be a challenge. Throughout, the Jamet signature of aromatic and structural detail paired with fresh lift shines brightly, promising steady evolution for years ahead. Lastly, readers should note that at the time of my visit, it had not yet been decided whether the 2024 La Landonne would be bottled separately or blended into the Côte-Rôtie; for what it’s worth, I find it on equal footing with the latter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Rhone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44163851714694,"sku":"TRY-KL-JametCoteRotie-Landonne","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/JametLandonne.png?v=1784138729","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/domaine-jean-paul-jamet-cote-rotie-la-landonne-2023","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
