Jamet is one of the masters of Côte-Rôtie.
They are consistently the best wines that we taste from the appellations.

Today, we're happy to focus on Jamet's 2022 Côte-Rôtie Fructus Voluptas. This bottling is one that we turn to often. It shows a different side of Jamet's Côte-Rôtie.
The first vintage of Fructus Voluptas was 2008. The intention was to significantly depart from the winemaking of the flagship Côte-Rôtie. Fructus Voluptas sees little to no stem inclusion and is sourced from younger vines. This yields a more fruit-driven and immediate lens through which to view Jamet's winemaking.
Fructus Voluptas has Jamet's signature finesse but achieves this with darker fruits and more overt florality. There is a serious undercurrent of crushed rock, smoke, and herbal notes. The 2022 is especially concentrated with a vibrant core of savory minerality and energy.
The wine is even harder to find in quantity than the regular Côte-Rôtie. I should close by warning that this is a very modestly sized parcel. It's likely to sell out quickly.
