| Area of production | AOC Gaillac |
|---|---|
| Soil and climate | The vines are planted on a plateau corresponding to the 2d terrace of the Tarn river. The Domaine Rotier is composed of very nice gravelly soils. |
| Grape varieties | 100% Len de l'El ( ou Loin de l'Oeil) |
| Climate conditions | 2018 saw a very contrasted climate: after a rainy winter and a stormy spring, dry and hot weather set in and lasted from mid-July to the end of September. While during the grapes vegetative growth it was necessary to be very vigilant in the vineyards to fight against diseases, the summer allowed the grapes to ripen well. They were harvested on 25 and 26 October. |
| Type of winemaking | The must ferments in French oak barrels for one or two months. In order to avoid using too much sulphur, fermentation is interrupted by cold stabilisation and filtering. The wine obtained conserves about 150g/l of residual sugar, balanced by a refreshing note of acidity. |
| Type of ageing | In French oak and acacia barrels (10% new) for 10 months. Bottled on August 30th 2019. |
| Tasting notes | On the nose, this wine presents aromas of apricot, figs and quince. It is very concentrated, rich and opulent on the palate, always well balanced and never heavy. |
| Food recommandation | Serve at 10-12°C. It pairs perfectly with hot foie gras with figs, strong cheeses, tarts and any fruit desserts. It can also be carafed and enjoyed by itself. It has a cellaring potential of over 20 years. |
