Made without sulfites, the Esquisse cuvée from Domaine Rotier is perfectly suited to the freshness and vitality of the summer season.
A red for summer
With Esquisse , Domaine Rotier has crafted a wine bursting with fruit and freshness. The ultimate in quality , this organic wine is also made without added sulfites. Sincerity and spontaneity are expressed with full intensity, showcasing the remarkable potential of this gravelly terroir. Showcasing the indigenous grape varieties of the Gaillac vineyard, the Esquisse cuvée is predominantly Duras blended with Braucol, while Syrah discreetly adds a touch of spice to the red fruit aromas. The effect is simply harmonious: beneath its lovely carmine hue lies a balanced and joyful character. Light and subtly flavorful, Esquisse is the perfect summer wine.
Vinified without sulphites
Before this vintage even begins, one must also seek out the full technical expertise of Domaine Rotier . Winemaking without sulfites is not something to be improvised, as adding sulfur to wine is like all-risk insurance. To forgo it is like winemaking without a safety net. The winemaker's confidence, technical mastery, and perfect knowledge of their terroir and wines are therefore essential guarantees of success. The ultimate goal is a wine bursting with fruit, undisturbed by any input foreign to the natural cycle of the vine and the winemaking process. Esquisse is a beautiful demonstration of all this. Made without sulfites, with the necessary expertise from harvest to cellar work, the wine becomes an ambassador of living nature. The spotlight is entirely on the sincere expression of the grape varieties and the terroir. At the time of veraison, it already tells us the full flavor of the fruit ripening under the summer sun.
