Syrah from high up above Ampuis, just above the Cote Rotie appellation. Fruit forward and fresh from the off, vibrant violet, raspberry and touch of dark cherry, again it has the purity and elegance of wines much more expensive, this is really good winemaking from a future force, the Bott's are in good form.

Pas mal! Varietal, fresh and almost floral perfume but not sweet. Really interesting with a gentle texture and great build. Affordable answer to Côte Rôtie? The Botts are a New Zealand couple; he used to make wine at Stéphane Ogier. Definitely a name to watch.Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2021)
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.
