Domaine G&J Bott - Cornas Red 2020

Grape

100% Syrah 

Tasting note

Inky ruby color. Heady aromas of mineral-accented black and blue fruits, incense, violet, olive and black pepper show superb clarity. Sappy, sweet and lively on the palate, offering spice-laced blackberry, cherry preserve, floral pastille and bitter chocolate flavors that expand steadily through the back half. Deep and youthfully chewy in texture, showing outstanding clarity and spicy thrust on a youthfully tannic finish that echoes the floral and blue fruit notes.

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.
