Really heady for Bott but not at all on the fat side, just more floral, bright citrus on the nose, but with jasmine, honeysuckle and, peach, apricot, on the palate it follows the same lines of fruit profile but the acidity and oak balance are in check, this is really special, very smart and worthy of being put in the very top echelons of Condrieu, Graeme & Julie have come a long way in a relatively short space of time and with wines as good as this you can see just why. L&S (Oct 2023)

Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott
A love story and a bit of good fortune; a love of the Syrah grape that led Graeme to the Rhone and the love of his life Julie, who came together whilst working at the prestigious cellars of Stephane Ogier. Theirs is a back story of adventure and spirit and one of serendipity too.
Our relationship with the pair stretches back some 8 years or so, when we often stopped and shared a beer after the Marché aux vins in Ampuis every January, it was no surprise when they told us they were setting out on their own journey.
The surprise came when they discovered that the house they had purchased in Verin, complete with 0.35 hectare of garden, was within the appellation of Condrieu, between the in-demand Coteau de Chéry and the illustrious Chateau Grillet. Graeme & Julie like to pick early to capture the freshness, and the wines tend be expressive, bright and pure.
