The estate and the wine |
|
|
Graeme and Julie Bott’s estate is without question one of the most exciting success stories in recent years. If there’s one Rhône Valley producer to keep an eye on, it’s this one.
After starting their journey at Domaine Stéphane Ogier, the couple took a bold leap in 2016, launching their own project—an almost impossible mission in Côte-Rôtie, where land is scarce and competition fierce.
And yet, they’ve done it. Today, their wines are among the most sought-after in the region: richly textured, generous, full of vibrant fruit and beautifully matured through careful barrel aging. These rising stars are well on their way to becoming modern classics. |

Perfectly ripe, the 2020 Saint-Joseph White opens with notes of white peach and a subtle hint of anise, all in perfect balance. The palate follows suit—layered and refined, with a gentle touch of oak aging that frames the wine without overshadowing the fruit. It walks the line between richness and finesse beautifully, never tipping into excess. The dominant share of Roussanne suits it perfectly, enhancing the fruit while preserving a lovely sense of freshness. A White praised for its precision, breadth, and vibrant tension. |
