Gaillac Blanc Sec Les Gravels, Domaine Rotier 2025
White Wine from France - SW France (excl. Bordeaux)
A distinctive, honeyed, delicately floral white from the small appellation of Gaillac in south-west France, perfect with poached trout. The wine is made predominantly from the local loin de l'oeil grape with 15% sauvignon blanc adding an aromatic edge. Alain Rotier, owner of the estate, is one of the leading lights of the region and is highly respected by his peers. Domaine Rotier’s Les Gravels is a good example of a producer quietly refining what it does over the long term rather than chasing quick fixes. Cover crops have been part of a 20-year programme here, helping to improve soil health, retain moisture and, in Alain Rotier’s view, add extra depth and character to the wines. Hedgerows and trees have been planted around the vineyards, while a partnership with a local bird conservation group has helped monitor wildlife across the estate. In the cellar, water-saving equipment and hydrogen peroxide cleaning have reduced water use, and the 2025 vintage arrives in a bottle weighing less than 420g and without a capsule. It’s thoughtful, practical progress, rooted firmly in the vineyards of Gaillac.

Domaine Rotier
Domaine Rotier is a family affair, run by brothers-in-law Alain Rotier and Francis Marre. It was purchased by Alain’s parents in 1975 and Alain got involved in 1985. In 1997 Francis came into the fold and Alain’s parents began to wind down.
On joining the domaine, Alain began working in earnest, applying a range of environmentally friendly farming methods, and in 1999 they installed brand new temperature-controlled equipment in the chai, and they have replanted to a higher density of vines to create competition between the plants. They then achieved organic certification in 2009.
Their 35 hectares of vineyards, on a gravel plateau at 200 metres above sea level, are planted with local varieties such as braucol, duras, syrah, loin de l’oeil and sauvignon blanc but in 2009 Alain and Francis decided to plant the little-known local variety prunelart which had almost died out and was in dire need of reviving. These are men who are proud of their heritage.
