Ampuis, Vallée du Rhône Nord
Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott
Starting from bare land and a garage, Graeme and Julie Bott built their domaine from scratch in the Northern Rhône — Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, and the rare Seyssuel appellation. Three stars from Bettane+Desseauve, praised by Jancis Robinson, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Their philosophy: let the schist and granite speak. Whites of freshness; reds of balance and finesse.
