history
The Domaine du Gouyat wine estate was founded by the Dubard's Family in 1977 in a courtyade-style farm typical of old province of Perigord, including a XVIIth century pigeonnier.

Vineyard
Among the 46-ha red-variety vines, 30 to 50% are dedicated to the production of Domaine du Gouyat Rosé. The youngest vines are always selected for the Rosé. Vines: 5 to 15 years old - Yield: 60 hl/ha . The alternating grassy and ploughed rows lead to an ideal hydric balance.
Winemaking
Press juice made up 50% of this Rosé : the de-stemmed grapes undewent a night long cold maceration, in order to extract colour and varietal aromas. Merlot variety communicate characteristic structure and fruitiness. After pressing, the press juice was blended with bleedings (saignées) from different fermenting red tanks. After a cold settling, the fementation was done at low temperatures (60 to 63°F) according to a thoroughly controlled rythm until sugar is completely consumed. We actually aim to favour, at each step of the process, fruitiness and freshness. Maturation on yeast lees balanced the vividness of this Rosé, giving a round and silky texture.
