| 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 ( or Loin de l'Oeil) |
| Climate conditions | Fresh and wet, 2013 wasn't propitious for vine growing. Rain and freshness during spring caused low yield. Vine harvest occurred between October 3rd and 19st, sunny days taking turns with some rain. This contrasted weather gave very fruity grapes and nevertheless permitted a good must concentration. |
| 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 145g/l of residual sugar, balanced by a refreshing note of acidity. |
| Type of ageing | In French oak and acacia barrels (15% new) for 10 months. Bottled on September 12th 2014. |
| 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 10 years. |
