The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Graeme and Julie Bott's estate is undoubtedly one of the best success stories of recent years. If you have to bet on the next great rising star of the Rhone Valley, bet on this one! After a beginning on the benches of the Domaine Stéphane Ogier, Julie and Graeme made the crazy bet to launch their own production in 2016, with almost nothing, an almost impossible mission in Côte-Rôtie! 

Their gamble paid off, as today they are one of the most closely watched estates in the area, revealing richly sculpted, generous and gourmet wines that are aged to perfection. These are the region’s future stars for sure!
Wine Typical of Viognier, with its refined notes of apricot, bergamot and ripe peach, the 2018 White Condrieu offers a profile that is both delicate and explosive, carried by a generous, very fresh material with a long sapid finish. Made from 100% Condrieu grapes, it is an undeniable gourmet wine, to be paired with poultry or blanquette de veau. Noted 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Aged for 10 months in French oak barrels.
