Domaine des Pothiers - Côte Roannaise - Cuvée domaine rouge 2024

BIODYNAMIC

Keywords : Fruity / Spicy / Supple

The wine : This flagship cuvée from Domaine des Pothiers is one of the finest expressions of Gamay Saint-Romain in the Côte Roannaise. Sourced from the granite slopes of the appellation, it naturally combines fruit, freshness, and finesse. The nose opens with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and small red fruits, complemented by floral and lightly spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is juicy and precise, with a supple texture, fine tannins, and beautiful elegance. More structured than a simple pleasure red while remaining very easy to drink, this cuvée perfectly reflects the style sought by Romain Paire: an expressive, balanced Gamay with no heaviness, that can pair just as well with simple dishes as with a more elaborate meal.

The estate : Located in Villemontais, in the heart of the Côte Roannaise, Domaine des Pothiers is managed by Romain Paire. The vineyard covers 23 hectares of granite hillsides, mainly planted with Gamay Saint-Romain, the emblematic grape variety of the appellation. The estate is committed to organic and biodynamic farming, favoring low-intervention winemaking to preserve the purity of the fruit, freshness, and the unique character of each terroir. The wines stand out for their precision, generosity, and balance, with cuvées ranging from supple, fruity reds to deeper expressions from old vines and parcel selections. Romain Paire is now among the winemakers who are significantly contributing to the revival and recognition of the Côte Roannaise.
