Jean-Luc Jamet worked for many years alongside his brother Jean-Paul, at the iconic family estate, Domaine Jamet. However in 2013 the brothers split the 16 hectare estate evenly, into two 8 hectare properties. He is now the holder of a Côte Rôtie property, situated at Le Vallin, on the plateau above the majestic steep vineyards. He and his wife, Evelyne, have been joined at the estate by their second son, Benoit, who supports in both the vineyards and the winery.
The vineyard holdings comprise 4.5 hectares of Côte-Rôtie, 2 hectares of Côtes-du-Rhône, and 1 hectare of Vin de Pays.
The Côtes du Rhône Blanc ‘Le Couzou’ is a blend of 60% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne and 20% Viognier, with 2/3 made in barrel and 1/3 in stainless steel, grown on granitic, argilous soils. This can turn out to be an intense lemon and peachy mineral wine, reminiscent of fine Chablis.
