The 2023 vintage for Côte-Rôtie is shaping up to be a fresh and elegant year, leaning towards a classic style rather than the bolder wines seen in the past eight years, promising serious complexity in the long term. Domaine Jamet's 2023 Côte-Rôtie, a blend from 17 lieux-dits, reveals aromas of dark berries, blueberry, and flowers, mingled with delicately peppery, spicy nuances. It is described as medium- to full-bodied, dense, and structured, with an enveloping core of fruit framed by lively tension, evoking the balance of Côte-Rôtie from earlier, cooler vintages. Vinous notes pronounced black cherry, forest strawberry, dried violets, and a touch of red plum, highlighting its fruit-driven allure, ultra-refined tannins, and outstanding length, suggesting it will be hard to resist in its youth despite its assured aging potential. Decanter's provisional score praises it as a fresh, elegant vintage with black raspberry, violet, bacon fat, crushed pepper, and olive tapenade, complemented by fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long mineral finish. 【 A reference point in Côte-Rôtie, known for blending top vineyard sites to create a complete Côte-Rôtie, in a classical, lifted, detailed, and composed style. 】 This exquisite wine pairs beautifully with roast leg of lamb with rosemary, squab with black olives, venison loin, aged hard cheeses, or mushroom-stuffed quail. It also complements all types of classic meat dishes, including veal, pork, beef, duck, game, and roast chicken. Perfect for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion, or a gathering of wine connoisseurs, this young Côte-Rôtie promises to evolve beautifully over time.
