Julie and Graeme Bott, from New Zealand, met in the small village of Ampuis while working for Stephane Ogier, a famed producer in Côte-Rôtie. They started their own domaine in their garage for the first three harvests from the appellations of CONDRIEU, CÔTE-RÔTIE, SAINT-JOSEPH and SEYSSUEL. They now have a larger facility in Ampuis, and their wines get better each year. Their terroir of schist and granite are excellent and the two are specialists in micro cuvées. In 2019, Graeme and Julie were named Winemakers & Terroirs of the Future ("Vignerons et Terroirs d'Avenir") by the AdVini Group, in partnership with the Montpellier SupAgro Foundation. Sustainable and organic farming is the rule there.
