Maison Jamet – Côte-Rôtie “Fructus Voluptas” 2024

An elegant and expressive Côte-Rôtie where Syrah reveals generous fruit and spicy complexity, lifted by floral finesse and the mineral backbone of Ampuis’ steep hillside vineyards.

Terroir & Winemaking

Based in Ampuis, Maison Jamet crafts this cuvée from vines planted on the steep, south-facing terraces of Côte-Rôtie, where optimal sun exposure ensures full ripening. Soils of schist, mica-schist, and decomposed granite provide structure, depth, and the hallmark mineral signature of the appellation.

Winemaking follows traditional methods, including manual harvesting, careful sorting, and a proportion of whole clusters to enhance aromatic complexity and texture. Aging in oak barrels, with moderate use of new wood, preserves fruit purity while adding subtle structure and elegance.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Intense and refined, with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry, layered with floral hints of violet, spice (black pepper, licorice), and subtle smoky, cured meat, and black olive notes typical of great Côte-Rôtie.

Palate:
Silky and precise on entry, with an elegant structure and fine-grained tannins. The balance between ripe fruit, freshness, and schist-driven minerality reveals flavors of dark berries, spice, graphite, and a delicate smoked meat nuance, with remarkable precision.

Finish:
Long and harmonious, marked by floral and spicy notes with a subtle mineral salinity. A refined and classic Côte-Rôtie combining generosity and finesse, with excellent aging potential.
