    The vineyards of Domaine Graeme and Julie Bott stretch across sun-drenched slopes, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate ideal for growing Syrah. The soils, composed of rolled pebbles and clay, contribute to the complexity of the wines. Sustainable viticulture practices help preserve this fragile ecosystem while promoting optimal grape ripening. The vines, some several decades old, are meticulously tended to ensure exceptional quality. The orientation of the plots and their exposure to the sun play a crucial role in the development of aromas, resulting in wines that capture the very essence of their terroir.

    Graeme and Julie Bott, passionate about wine and nature, founded their estate with the ambition of producing authentic and environmentally conscious wines. Their journey led them to explore the intricacies of viticulture in the Rhône Valley, where they have successfully combined tradition and innovation.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process at Domaine Graeme et Julie Bott is a true art. The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring a rigorous selection of the finest berries. After delicate destemming, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for perfect temperature control. This process promotes the expression of the fruity and spicy aromas characteristic of Syrah. Aging occurs in oak barrels, where the wine develops its structure and complexity, while subtly integrating the woody notes. The owners ensure balanced maturation so that the wine fully expresses its potential before bottling.
