Tasting notes
The 2022 Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott Syrah de Seyssuel Kamaka is an elegant and vibrant expression of northern Rhône Syrah, opening with dark-fruited aromas of blackberry and ripe plum layered with exotic spices, black pepper, and a delicate violet nuance. Some tasters also note subtle hints of rose, litchi, and a refined mineral undertone. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet poised, offering concentrated richness balanced by lively freshness, fine acidity, and refined tannins. Spiced and peppery notes mingle with a gentle saline touch, adding depth and lift. The finish is long, graceful, and floral, showcasing both finesse and energy in this beautifully crafted cuvée.
More About The Winery
Nestled in the Northern Rhône Valley, Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott has quickly become one of the region’s most exciting and dynamic producers. Established by husband-and-wife team Graeme Bott, originally from New Zealand, and Julie Bott, a native of the Rhône, the domaine has earned an impressive reputation in a remarkably short time.
From their first vintage in 2016, the Botts have gained critical acclaim for their precise, terroir-driven wines across Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, and Collines Rhodaniennes. With a deep respect for the land, they practice sustainable viticulture, working steep granite slopes by hand to craft wines of purity, finesse, and energy.
Their Viognier from Condrieu shows crystalline minerality and floral elegance, while their Syrah from Côte-Rôtie and Saint-Joseph delivers aromatic complexity, balance, and remarkable aging potential. The style is modern yet respectful of tradition — wines that capture both Northern Rhône authenticity and Bott family innovation.
