FEATURES
🏰【From a legendary producer, Jamet's La Landonne 2018 is a profound and long-lived Syrah from one of Côte-Rôtie's most revered single vineyards】. The 2018 vintage in the Northern Rhône was generally warm and ripe, producing rich and concentrated wines. This 100% Syrah (often with a touch of Viognier co-fermented) offers intense dark fruit like blackberry and blackcurrant, alongside notes of smoked meat, black olive, violet, and a distinct mineral/graphite character. Known for its firm tannins in youth, it promises incredible complexity and depth with age.
🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This powerful Côte-Rôtie is an exceptional match for roasted lamb, rich game dishes such as venison or wild boar, and hearty beef stews. It also pairs well with strong, aged cheeses.
🥂 fit for event suggestion: An outstanding choice for a serious wine collector's dinner, a special occasion that calls for a truly iconic Northern Rhône, or for cellaring to witness its magnificent evolution over decades.
