Domaine Rotier 2007 L’Ame du Domaine Duras (Gaillac)

Country: France / L’Ame du Domaine
Variety: Duras Southwest France
Winery: Domaine Rotier / Gaillac

Ame means the spirit, the soul, and Alain Rotier believes this wine expresses the true nature of his Gaillac estate. On that basis, it’s a place of great perfumes, coming through in the wine from wood as well as chunky black fruits. It is a relatively soft wine, the concentration in the dense fruit rather than the tannins.
