(96-98 points) One of the most impressive wines of the vintage is the 2022 Cote Rotie Cote Brune from Jamet family. Crafted from a tiny plot of 0.5 hectares and with only 2,500 bottles produced, it reveals a singular, surprising bouquet of rose, lychee, violets, cassis and flowers mingled with lovely spicy notes, turning chocolaty with aeration. Full-bodied, dense and compact at this stage, it's framed by structured, velvety tannins, a seamless, multidimensional core of fruit and culminates in a telluric, mineral finish enhanced by subtle notes of pencil lead and licorice, giving this wine some mystery. Still maturing in barrels, this racy thoroughbred will take some time to hit its stride. Kudos!- YC

Bottled just one week before my visit, the 2022 Côte-Rôtie Côte Brune is a total knockout. Pristine blood orange, elderflower, mint, rosewater, violet, pencil shaving and blackberry create an enticing aromatic profile that captivates the senses. Touching the palate with mind-boggling intensity and elevated flavor concentration, the ravishingly beautiful 2022 bursts with youthful energy, culminating with peppery gradations on an almost endless finish. This is the stuff of your dreams. - By Nicholas Greinacher on November 2024

Beautiful aromas of pure rose, a touch of raspberry and thyme, this is not all black fruits. Lovely flavours, really compelling this year. Tannins are silkier than a classic Côte-Rôtie, but still quite austere, with great energy and length. Will be lovely, with great aromatic complexity and structure, but not as rich in body and smooth in texture as, say, 2020. Nonetheless excellent, but you'll need patience. Whole-bunch fermented, matured in old demi-muids.

Rose, potpourri, red and black fruits, and very floral notes all emerge from the 2022 Côte Rôtie Côte Brune, a medium to full-bodied Côte Rôtie that has beautiful tannins, an incredible sense of minerality, and a very long finish. Just another quintessential Côte Brune that shows the floral character, as well as the elegance, this cuvée is known for, hide bottles for 5-7 years if you can and enjoy over the following 2-3 decades. Drink 2030-2050.
