Domaine Jamet 'Collines Rhodaniennes' Syrah 2020

Domaine Jamet 'Collines Rhodaniennes' Syrah 2020 is an incredibly vibrant, fresh, and expressive Northern Rhône Syrah produced by Jean-Paul, Corinne, and Loïc Jamet. Sourced from destemmed vines planted on the schist and granite slopes surrounding Ampuis and Condrieu, this wine captures the classic Jamet house style in an accessible, early-drinking format. Aged for 12 months in neutral oak casks (5 to 6 years old), it opens with a lifted bouquet of violets, fresh blueberries, black cherries, cracked black pepper, and subtle olive tapenade. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky with crunchy acidity, delicate tannins, and a savory, mineral-accented finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled pork chops, roasted chicken, charcuterie, lamb burgers, wild mushroom tarts, and goat cheese.

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Jamet magic is on full display here, with lacy, fresh aromas of violets, cherry and blueberries marking the nose of the 2020 IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah. Just medium-bodied, it nevertheless delivers immensely satisfying notes of black olives and red raspberries, framed by ineffably silky tannins. Not super long or powerful, it offers a genuine sense of the Jamet house style in a delicious, early-drinking wine.
