The 21 St Joseph from Graeme & Julie Bott is a compelling example of why this vintage shouldn't be discarded because of the difficulties of frost etc. dark saturated purple in the glass with a very expressive nose of dark blue fruits, blueberry, dark cherry and a hint of oak/spice too, a nice touch of sweetness too, just great Saint Jospeh that will not let you down, drinking straight from the get go.

This suave and graceful St. Joseph has been precisely crafted, but it has all the wild berry, smoke and pepper character we look for in this appellation. I love the crunchy fruit and mineral freshness on the sleek and focused palate. Silky finish! Drink or hold. Drinking range: 2023 - Rating: 93 Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com (May 2023)
Glass-staining violet color. Spice-tinged aromas of fresh black and blue fruits, olive and pungent flowers show sharp detail and a touch of smokiness. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering gently sweet, mineral-laced cherry, boysenberry and exotic spice flavors that deepen slowly with aeration. The blue fruit note drives a long, spicy finish that's given grip by youthfully firm but even tannins. One-third whole clusters. Rating: 91-93 Josh Raynolds, www.vinousmedia.com (Dec 2022)
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.
