Tasting Notes & Ratings
Grape
100% Syrah
Tasting notes
Vibrant ruby red with purple reflections. The nose is expressive and refined, offering layers of fresh raspberry, black cherry, and subtle black pepper. On the palate, it’s silky and supple, with lively acidity and gentle spice. Bright fruit, smooth tannins, and elegant balance lead to a long, polished finish. A fresh and approachable Northern Rhône Syrah with finesse and character.
More About The Winery
Nestled in the Northern Rhône Valley, Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott has quickly become one of the region’s most exciting and dynamic producers. Established by husband-and-wife team Graeme Bott, originally from New Zealand, and Julie Bott, a native of the Rhône, the domaine has earned an impressive reputation in a remarkably short time.
From their first vintage in 2016, the Botts have gained critical acclaim for their precise, terroir-driven wines across Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, and Collines Rhodaniennes. With a deep respect for the land, they practice sustainable viticulture, working steep granite slopes by hand to craft wines of purity, finesse, and energy.
Their Viognier from Condrieu shows crystalline minerality and floral elegance, while their Syrah from Côte-Rôtie and Saint-Joseph delivers aromatic complexity, balance, and remarkable aging potential. The style is modern yet respectful of tradition — wines that capture both Northern Rhône authenticity and Bott family innovation.
