2020 Condrieu Lieu Dit l'Aleau, Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott

When winemakers talk about tending their vineyards like their gardens, we understand what they mean, but take it with a pinch of salt. In this case, these vines literally are Graeme and Julie’s garden, which sits between Coteau de Chéry and Château Grillet, below their house in Vérin. They bought the house a few years ago, and on discovering their garden was in fact prime AOC Condrieu, they not only decided to plant it with vines, but also to start their own domaine. So it’s where their story really begins. 2019 was the first release, and 2020 sees them really hitting their stride. The five-year-old vines have made a superb wine that comes in at just 12.5% abv. It smells of dried honey and lavender, and the palate has delicious freshness, with the richness of baked shortbread in the background. This is a special wine indeed.
