Domaine Graeme et Julie Bott - Condrieu - White - 2018

Wine:

True to its Viognier roots, the 2018 Condrieu White delivers elegant aromas of apricot, bergamot, and fully ripe peach. On the palate, it’s both refined and expressive, with generous texture, vibrant freshness, and a long, mouthwatering finish. Sourced entirely from the commune of Condrieu, this is a wine made for the table — a perfect match for roast poultry or a creamy veal blanquette.

Fine aromas of bergamot, apricot skin, very typical of Viognier but also with a nice minerality.

Palate:

Delicacy and minerality sum up this wine, a delicious duo with a refined palate and a long and sapid finish.

Serve between 10 and 12°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Roasted poultry, veal blanquette, andouillette de Troyes, creamy vegetable risotto.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2026 and beyond for enthusiasts.

The estate of Graeme and Julie Bott is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting success stories of recent years. If there’s one Rhône Valley estate to follow right now, this is it. After cutting their teeth at Domaine Stéphane Ogier, Julie and Graeme took a bold leap in 2016 — launching their own project with almost nothing, a near-impossible feat in this region.

Fast forward to today, and they’re now among the most closely followed producers in the Rhône Valley, recently awarded a star in the 2025 Revue du Vin de France guide — France’s most respected wine authority.
