I tasted 4 different parcels from barrel that will eventually make the final blend - all very impressive. 2022 Côte Rôtie: More closed than the young vines, more grippy too, touch of spice and light floral notes too, sweet and tight will be interesting to see the blend. 2022 Fongeant: 100% whole cluster Dark fruit, black cherry, cola cube, dark fruit pastille, meaty, dense, black olive a touch of herbs, Côte Brune, very dark and brooding. 2022 Côte Rôtie Lancemont - Côte Brune white limestone: Floral, bright perfumed, violets, raspberry & strawberry tone fruit , very elegant lots of finesse, superb. 2022 Côte Rôtie young vines in Fongeant 100% destemmed: Medium ruby red, bright & sweetly perfumed, light floral and sweet violets, raspberry errs too, there is definitely tannins again, but not intrusive and will grow into the wine, vibrant and juicy with real depth, there is energy here too, nicely done.

The 2022 Côte-Rôtie kicks off with marked reduction on this occasion, gradually releasing delicate black cherry, red plum and violet notes alongside spicy subtleties. Medium-bodied and refreshing, the 2022 is built around smooth tannins and walks away with substantial freshness towards a clean, fruit-driven finish. It shows a little better than the 2021 did last year, but I’d wish for a little more length and refinement. Drinking range: 2025 - 2030 Rating: 89 Nicholas Greinacher - Vinousmedia.com (Jan 2025)
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.
