£13.50 The Wine Society
On the domaine’s gravel soils, Alain Rotier focuses on organic methods and champions the Len de l’El grape, which in Renaissance is blended with 20% Sauvignon Blanc, co-fermented in barrel prior to 10 months’ maturation in wood, with 20% in acacia. Concentrated, fresh and precise on the palate, showing crisp acidity and nutty characters combined with fresh citrus. A standard-bearer for Gaillac. 2022-2025 13%
