Graeme and Julie Bott’s estate has quickly become one of the most exciting success stories in recent years. If there’s one name to watch in the Northern Rhône Valley, this is it.

After starting their journey alongside the renowned Stéphane Ogier, the pair took a bold leap in 2016, launching their own production from scratch — a near-impossible feat in Côte-Rôtie.

And yet, they’ve done it. Now among the region’s rising stars, they've earned a well-deserved star in the 2025 Guide Vert — France’s leading wine publication — and continue to craft wines that are generous, richly textured, and beautifully shaped by thoughtful aging.
