The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Graeme and Julie Bott's estate is undoubtedly one of the best success stories of recent years. If you have to bet on the next great rising star of the Rhone Valley, bet on this one! After a beginning on the benches of the Domaine Stéphane Ogier, Julie and Graeme made the crazy bet to launch their own production in 2016, with almost nothing, an almost impossible mission in Côte-Rôtie! 

Their gamble paid off, as today they are one of the most closely watched estates in the area, revealing richly sculpted, generous and gourmet wines that are aged to perfection. These are the region’s future stars for sure!
Wine Ripe and dense, the 2018 White Saint-Joseph opens on notes of white peach and apricot. The palate is well-balanced between being delicate and powerful, thanks to the majority of roussanne grapes which amplifies the flavors of the wine while still keeping a lot of freshness. A wine praised for its mastery, fullness and tension. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged for 10 months in French oak barrels.
