This is a really sophisticated St Joseph. Super bright on the nose, raspberry and cassis, touch of spice, ripe cherry middle is silky with plush blueberry perk, nicely soft tannin. Surprisingly elegant and super smart. It just flows so well, there's a satisfying weight of fruit and a lovely feel to this - an exciting new find! L&S (May 2020)

A wine that will spend 18 months in French oak, the 2018 Saint Joseph Saint Joseph (completely destemmed) reveals a deep purple color to go with a spicy, complex bouquet of red and blue fruits, orange blossom, spring flowers, and sappy herbs. Rounded, medium-bodied, and nicely textured, it's a pretty, complex, elegant wine that has the more plush, soft style of the vintage front and center.

Lovely fruit richness and leathery notes with aniseed and bitter chocolate on the finish. Savoury and intense, with breezy freshness from tangy acidity. The fruit continues on the finish, leaving an appetising olive bitterness. Drinking range: 2021 - 2028 Rating: 17 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2019)
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.
