| Area of production | AOC Gaillac |
|---|---|
| Soil and climate | The vines are planted on a plateau corresponding to the 2° terrace of the Tarn river. The Domaine Rotier Terroir is composed of very nice gravelly soils. |
| Grape varieties | 80% Loin de l'Oeil, 20% Sauvignon |
| Climate conditions | 2017 was quite dry but contrasted. At the end of April the frost haven't wrought too much damage in the vineyard. June, July and August were dry but with some little rain which permeted a good vegetative growth of the vines. Vine harvest of beautiful and very good grapes occured between September 28th and October 5th. |
| Type of winemaking | The must fermented at 18°C and the fermentation has been stopped (with cold settling and filtration to avoid adding too much sulfites) to keep around 90 g/l of residual sugar. |
| Type of ageing | Ageing in tanks lasted a few months, only to keep the fruitiness of the wine. Bottled on August 29th 2018. |
| Tasting notes | Intense nose with scents of citrus and white fruit (peach). The mouthfeel is soft and fresh, with a very nice balance between richness and acidity. |
| Food recommandation | It should be served between 8-10°C. It is stunning as an aperitif, and will match perfectly with foie gras and fresh fruit desserts. |
