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
BlackBerry, violet and leather. Excellent old school Cote Rotie that’s still in it’s youth — 6 years ago
This Syrah is deep, rich, and luxurious with a wealth of fruit. Black olives, game, licorice and spice round out the full bodied palate. A solid wine but hard to justify at $60.
More info: Sourced from the Rocks District of Milton Freewater. 14+ months in oak used 2/3 vintages prior, 888 cases. — 6 years ago
White pepper on the nose. Black pepper and boysenberry on the palate. Lithe and lively. — 7 years ago
Fruity, smooth, pepper finish. Still opening up. — 8 years ago
Un grand pauillac? Not sûre. C bon. Une côte rôtie encore. — 9 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. — 11 years ago
Full bodied, peppery, and sublime. Perfect with a New York Strip steak. — 9 months ago
Already very balanced although still young. Association of Power and Finesse The fruit is still marked with well-melted light notes of oak. Deep concentrated notes of smoked ham, primary peppery and violette notes. Classic style. Beautiful gourmandise that will gain in wisdom with several years of cellar. 😋
Déjà très équilibré bien qu’encore jeune. Association de la puissance à la finesse. Le fruit est encore marqué soutenu par des notes d’élevages déjà bien fondues. Notes concentrée lardées fumées, notes primaires poivrées. Style classique. Belle gourmandise qui gagnera en sagesse avec plusieurs années de cave. — 4 years ago
Starting to soften just slightly and drinks well now with a short decant. Bright red fruits from the grenache, some darker and more savory elements from the mourvedre and just a touch of syrah which I can’t pick out on the palate but makes for a nice bouquet. — 6 years ago
Delicious wine! Would definitely drink again! — 7 years ago
Trop jeune mais très bon, belle finesse — 8 years ago
A very young and tight wine with great intensity. The fruit was dense and the spice and aromatics were beginning to evolve. It had great structure wth very silky tannins and beautiful length. #yvescuilleron #coterotie #rhonevalley #northernrhone #syrah #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

'84 Burgaud Cote Rotie...quite happy with this — 10 years ago
Have put the rest in the cellar I committed a crime opening this but enjoyed every drop — 11 years ago
Wonderful cote rotie with notable density and depth — 8 months ago
Beautifully balanced with pronounced red fruit and distinct tannic structure. Only purple, red color with a nice acidity to complement red meat. A great wine now that can easily cellar for many years. — 8 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. — 4 years 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
Woooowwwww!!!! C’est très très grand, ultra complexe et ultra facile! Un des plus beaux cote rôtie dégustés — 7 years ago
Perhaps a touch overpowering but in a word, thrilling — 8 years ago
Easy 92...but that's my jam style. So dank. — 9 years ago
Côte-Rôtie Deep ruby with purple highlights. Clean, medium-plus nose with a riot of aromas including medicinal overtones of iodine and tar, black olive licorice, black pepper and exotic spices. Medium plus acidity, medium plus ripe tannins with all the aromas mirrored on the palate. Excellent multi-layered wine with a long finish. — 9 years ago
Not shut down — 10 years ago
Worth the wait... — 10 years ago

Love me a Côte Rôtie 😋. 5 hour decant had this singing with small berries and grill notes. Massive but still contained...my favourite type of wine. Will improve with time! — 6 months ago
