Produced in extremely limited quantities, this is a refined, age-worthy wine with dark fruit, floral perfume, spice and beautifully polished tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from approximately 40-year-old Syrah vines planted on the schist soils of the Côte Brune in Ampuis. These steep, rocky vineyards are at the heart of Côte-Rôtie and give the wine remarkable intensity, structure and mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpert Ratings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e94 Points — Vinous\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlistening ruby. Spice- and mineral-accented cherry and black raspberry scents are complemented by suggestions of pipe tobacco, violet, smoky bacon and exotic spices. Densely packed and subtly chewy in texture, offering appealingly sweet, spice-tinged red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors that are supported by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. The mineral note returns on a very long, penetrating finish that features polished tannins and resonating florality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e93 Points — Wine Spectator\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShows seductive violet, crushed plum and spice notes that mingle on the palate, grounded by balsamic and olive tapenade. The dry finish, with power that builds, is marked with a dusting of white pepper. Drink now through 2030.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e93 Points — James Suckling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark cherries, plums, black olives, grilled meat, earth and cloves on the nose. Medium to full body with fine tannins. Serious and well-balanced with a restrained power and a lively finish with excellent length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e92 Points — Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI loved the 2020 Côte Rôtie, another terrific effort here. Giving up lots of ripe black and blue fruits as well as spring flowers and bouquet garni-like notes, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, has ripe, sweet tannins, and a great finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted both in the vineyard and again upon arrival at the winery. Approximately 80% of the fruit is destemmed before a cold maceration in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation begins naturally with indigenous yeasts, followed by 18 months of aging in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction is exceptionally small, at approximately 1,200 bottles, making this a particularly limited expression of Côte-Rôtie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby with violet reflections, the 2020 Côte-Rôtie offers an expressive aromatic profile of ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum layered with violet, cracked pepper and savory spice. Subtle notes of olive, smoked meat and earthy minerality add classic Northern Rhône complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is full and concentrated yet remarkably supple, with ripe dark fruit framed by firm, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Peppery spice and mineral notes carry through the long, elegant finish, giving the wine both immediate appeal and excellent potential for further development in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Domaine Graeme \u0026amp; Julie Bott\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraeme and Julie Bott met while working at the renowned Northern Rhône estate of Stéphane Ogier before establishing their own domaine. Beginning with a small cellar in their garage, they gradually planted vineyards in Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph and Seyssuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, working from their cellar in Ampuis, their philosophy centers on allowing the Northern Rhône's schist and granite terroirs to speak clearly through the wines. Production remains deliberately small, with an emphasis on balance, purity and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent partner for grilled or roasted beef, ribeye steak, rack of lamb, braised lamb, duck and slow-cooked game. Its savory, peppery character also pairs beautifully with mushrooms, lentils, roasted root vegetables and dishes featuring rosemary, thyme or black pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Graeme \u0026amp; Julie Bott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Northern Rhône\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte-Rôtie AOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ampuis, Côte Brune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Syrah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 40 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand harvested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 80% destemmed; indigenous yeast fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 months in French oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1,200 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793782731035,"sku":"210000060841","price":121.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/ambdm08pcp9fidkjvgem.jpg?v=1786462152","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/domaine-graeme-julie-bott-cote-rotie-2020-750ml-special-offer-price","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
