2019 vintage. Last tasted 07.30.23 (9.5). Good lord. This is still (unsurprisingly) effing ridiculous. Explosive and giving without being compliant. Every time tasting this, attempt to renounce Cabernet Sauvignon/BDX blends forever. Hopefully someday, I'll make it stick. 02.28.25. — 4 months ago
2020 vintage. Everything is great these days at Jaboulet (négoce wines and estate wines alike) and this Côte Rôtie is no exception. "Les Jumelles" (French for " twins" ) is a blend of Côte Blonde and Côte Brune. It is a terrific effort in a vintage that maintained impressive freshness in a very hot year. A beautiful nose with red and black fruits and flowers. It has depth and elegance, refined tannins and great length. Abv.14%. — 3 years ago

Mineral and airy. Structured and ripe. Touch of oak tannin but so pure. Excellent. — 11 years ago
2019 vintage. Last tasted 08.19.23 (9.5). Still medium heavy-heavy bod. Plushy nose, aggressively undying flavors and brick + mortar structure. Comparable to what it must have been like to see Mozart live back in that day. Confusing. Pure. Beyond mortal comprehension. "It's getting better all the time." 03.08.25. — 4 months ago
Après deux vins sur la retenue , celui-ci est beaucoup plus expressif, un parfum intense de bleuet, de poivre, de chocolat. En bouche c’est jeune, intense, soyeux... c’est gourmand. Première fois avec domaine Garon et j’espère pas la dernière. — 5 years ago
Delicious wine! Would definitely drink again! — 7 years ago
Trop jeune mais très bon, belle finesse — 8 years ago
Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 10 years ago
BIG mid palate. Sweet tabaco. — 12 years ago
Structurally sound, fruit and elegance underneath, but brett marred purity. — 4 months ago
Continuing our love affair with Cote Rotie!
Obvious dark fruits, Blackcurrant springs to mind, sticky “jammyness” towards the end of the bottle (no punn intended to the Jamet family!)
In short, a great wine to go with our steak…..the love affair continues 🍷❤️ 😋 — 8 months ago
Wonderful cote rotie with notable density and depth — 10 months ago
Tout est fondu, c’est équilibré, rien à redire si ce n’est un petit manque de complexité. J’ai adoré la finesse — 6 years ago
White pepper on the nose. Black pepper and boysenberry on the palate. Lithe and lively. — 8 years ago
