Birth of a domaine
I created Domaine Richard Rottiers in 2007 in Romanèche-Thorins, in the heart of Beaujolais, in the prestigious Cru Moulin à Vent. I was immediately convinced of the quality and potential of this terroir. I started with 3 hectares of 40 - 80 years old. I very quickly knew this was the place and sought to expand the size of my domaine while maintaining a human size structure that allows me to take great care in the development of my wines.
Today my domaine is comprised of 6 hectares of vines in Moulin à Vent and 1 hectare of vines in Beaujolais Villages.
Taking care of the earth and the vine
All the work in the vineyard aims to bring a healthy and perfectly ripe grape to harvest while respecting the earth and the environment.
• We limit the yields by allowing 6 - 8 bunches per vine.
• We trim the shoots and buds to allow airflow through the clusters reducing the risk of rot.
• The fields are plowed to reduce competition from grassy plants and to encourage the vines to delve deep into the soil. )
Harvest is done by hand. We carefully sort each bunch in the vineyard keeping only the best.
All of the vines have been grown organically since 2012. Any treatment of disease is done in an organic way. The effectiveness of treatments are enhanced by the addition of herbal teas and herbal preparations.
Respect the terroir
My vines in the Moulin à Vent appellation grow on different soil types:
granite and gravel. I take care to vinify each vineyard separately and to adapt the vinification techniques to the characteristics of each micro terroir.
In the Moulin à Vent appellation the vines are an average of 50 years old.
The harvest is done by hand and vinification is whole bunch with semi carbonic maceration trying to achieve the perfect balance between fruit and tannins.
The aging of my Moulin à Vent takes place in both barrel and concrete vat.
My vines in Beaujolais Villages appellation grow at the bottom of the hillsides on gravel soil bordering the Moulin à Vent appellation.
These vines receive the same care and attention as the vines in Moulin à Vent. The Beaujolais Villages is vinified by semi carbonic maceration to emphasis the fruit. The aging of my Beaujolais Villages takes place in both barrel and concrete vat.
The wines of the domaine
All of my wines are bottled on the estate by me. I currently sell 70% to export markets. In France, you can find my bottles in discerning wine shops and in some nice restaurants.
Moulin à Vent Foudres
Cherry and gooseberry aromas, a rich purple hue, reminiscent of dark cherries and violets in the mouth, nice length supported by soft tannins. Excellent with grilled meat and a plate of cheese. Potential to cellar for 8-10 years.
Beaujolais Villages
A fine nose of raspberry and cherry aromas, ruby in colour, elegant mouthfeel, primary flavours of cherry and currant with very soft almost melted tannins. Enjoy with a salad or cured meats. Potential to cellar for 1-5 years.
