Jamet Cote du Rhone Rouge Equivoque 2019 Bottle (75cl)
The 2019 Domaine Jamet Équivoque is a red wine from the Côtes du Rhône appellation, crafted in the Rhône Valley from 100% Syrah. Created in 2015, this cuvée comes from Côtes du Rhône plots bordering the Côte-Rôtie appellation, on schist soils. The harvest is partially destemmed, followed by approximately twenty days of maceration. The wine is aged for twenty-two months in barrels, an approach that highlights the singular and structured character of this expression of Syrah.

Histoire du domaine
Domaine Jamet is part of the Jamet family’s wine-growing history in Ampuis, where the estate once combined vineyards and fruit orchards. Jean-Paul Jamet founded the estate at the hamlet of Le Vallin in 1975. The first harvest was bottled at the estate in 1976, following a period during which the produce was sold to wine merchants. Jean-Paul initially worked alongside his father Joseph, and later with his brother Jean-Luc. Over the years, the family built up a portfolio of plots on the slopes of Côte-Rôtie and expanded their range to include wines from Condrieu and the Côtes-du-Rhône. In 2013, the two brothers went their separate ways and Jean-Luc set up his own estate. Domaine Jamet has since remained under the management of Jean-Paul and his wife Corinne. Loïc Jamet has gradually become involved in the work in the cellar and the vineyard; in particular, he has been producing the Condrieu Vernillon since 2015 with his father’s support. Fanny and Loïc now carry on the family business alongside their parents.

Équivoque is a red Côtes-du-Rhône from high-quality plots adjacent to the Côte-Rôtie area. Made from 100% Syrah on schist soils, the cuvée is partially destemmed, macerated for about twenty days, and then aged for twenty-two months in barrels. The estate attributes a cellaring potential of fifteen to twenty years to it.
