| 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 | Duras (35%), Syrah (35%), Braucol (15%), and Prunelart (15%). |
| Climate conditions | In 2020, the mild winter preceded a sunny spring at the beginning, which was more watery afterwards. Flowering took place at the end of May in fine weather. After a rainy period at the beginning of June, the summer was hot and very dry. The harvest therefore took place in excellent conditions with a perfect grapes quality from August 25th to September 18th. |
| Type of winemaking | The different grapes ferment separately at 28 - 30°C. Maceration lasts from 3 to 5 weeks. |
| Type of ageing | Aged for one year in French oak barrels (15% new). Bottled on June 23rd and 24th 2022. |
| Tasting notes | In its youth, this wine is dark purple and fruity on the nose, with notes of cassis and cherry mingling with liquorice, pepper and other spices. Full and rich on the palate with good tannic structure and a delicately fruity finish. |
| Food recommandation | This wine goes well with tasty poultry, lamb or game (hare, venison, wild boar ..) as well as marinated red meat dishes. Serve at 17/18°C. May be cellared for 10 years and more. |
