Domaine Rotier is an archetype of those French wines found far from the crowd of famous names in Bordeaux or Burgundy.

Located in the south-east of the sud-ouest, Gaillac is the most picturesque appellation in France with regard to the permissibility of its production and the variety of cépages which can be used. The AOC allows for the production of dry white wines, sweet white wines, rosés, reds and also different types of sparkling wines from their many varieties, several of which are native.

Alain Rotier and Francis Marre are fully committed to representing Gaillac’s true identity. The reds are mainly made with Duras and Braucol, while the white are dominated by a variety called Loin de l’Oeil. The vines are grown organically. The step-brothers’ unwavering efforts are all aimed at increasing the quality of their grapes. In 2001, they courageously decided to increase the density of their vines as a way of accentuating the character of the terroir and providing more throttle to their wines. Their red Gaillac Renaissance is a solid bet as an SAQ specialty product.
