| Area of production | AOC Gaillac |
|---|---|
| Soil and climate | The vines are planted on a plateau corresponding to the 2nd terrace of the Tarn river. The Domaine Rotier is composed of very nice gravelly soils |
| Grape varieties | 75% Loin de l'Oeil, 25% Sauvignon |
| Climate conditions | 2022 was the hottest and driest year ever recorded in Gaillacois. In these conditions, the sanitary state of the vegetation and the grapes was perfect, without having to treat, except at the beginning of the campaign. Flowering and fecundation went well and the harvest could have been abundant. Unfortunately, green harvesting was necessary to allow the remaining grapes to ripen in good conditions. The intense drought did not allow the stumps to feed the grapes normally. The harvest was early, with quality berries, but containing less juice. It took place from August 22nd to 24th . |
| Type of winemaking | The must fermented in French oak and acacia barrels (less than 10 % new). The two varieties are blended before fermentation. |
| Type of ageing | The wine is left on its lees which are regularly stirred. Bottled on 2023-08-31. |
| Tasting notes | On the nose, this wine develops scents of peaches and pears with slight vanilla notes. The mouthfeel is rich thanks to the Loin de l'OEil and stays fresh thanks to the Sauvignon. The aromas found on the nose (peaches, pears) can be find back as well as scents of dill and anise. |
| Food recommandation | Serve at around 10°C with fish, poultry and white meats. Very good also with goat and ewe cheeses. May be cellared for four to five years. |
