Understanding Domaine J Paul & Loic Jamet, Cote Rotie, Fructus Voluptas, Rhone

Fructus Voluptas is primarily composed of Syrah, with a small percentage of fragrant Viognier, typical of the classic Côte Rotie blend. Grapes are sourced from select vineyards on the steep, terraced slopes characteristic of the region. The granite-rich soils contribute to the wine's aromatic intensity and depth of flavour. The winemaking philosophy at Domaine J. Paul & Loic emphasises precision and respect for terroir expression. Harvest is conducted by hand, ensuring the selection of the best fruit. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts and the wine is aged in oak barrels, a process that adds complexity while maintaining the integrity of the fruit's natural profile. Fructus Voluptas features dark berry, black pepper and floral hints due to the Viognier in a refined, layered palate with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Fructus Voluptas demonstrates the promise of extended cellaring.
