The estate is part of Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, the winery behind the world-famous Château Lafite Rothschild, considered the benchmark for Bordeaux as early as the 18th century. This centuries-old expertise translates here into a refined Languedoc style, where precision, balance, and elegance are paramount. This wine demonstrates how a great, classic winery consciously chooses nuance and drinkability, without sacrificing depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1814\"\u003eThe grapes come from France, from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, within the AOC Languedoc appellation. The estate is situated in the hills just behind the Mediterranean coast near Narbonne, an area where altitude and maritime influences provide a cool breeze. Through years of experience, Domaine d'Aussières has been purposefully developed as a cohesive ecosystem where soil, climate, and viticulture are perfectly aligned. This cooler terroir gives the wines their characteristic balance and finesse and clearly distinguishes Aussières from warmer, heavier Languedoc expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1816\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"2597\"\u003eIn the cellar, a combination of traditional methods and targeted choices gives this wine its signature. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete tanks. Some Carignan is fermented with whole bunches, a specialized technique that adds aromatic tension and spicy depth. During fermentation, regular pump-overs ensure gentle extraction, preserving the tannins' finesse. The total maceration lasts 15–20 days. Only 20% of the wine is aged for 10 months in wooden barrels, a deliberate dosage that provides structure and length without overpowering the Mediterranean fruit, an approach that makes this wine remarkably elegant for its price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2622\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003e Syrah – Languedoc\u003cbr data-start=\"2641\" data-end=\"2644\"\u003e Syrah, at 43%, forms the backbone of the wine, delivering concentration, dark fruit and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2743\" data-end=\"2874\"\u003e Carignan – Languedoc\u003cbr data-start=\"2763\" data-end=\"2766\"\u003e Carignan, 31%, provides freshness and spiciness, enhanced by partial fermentation with whole bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2876\" data-end=\"2952\"\u003eGrenache – Languedoc\u003cbr data-start=\"2896\" data-end=\"2899\"\u003e Grenache noir, 17%, adds roundness and ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2954\" data-end=\"3035\"\u003e Mourvèdre – Languedoc\u003cbr data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"2978\"\u003e Mourvèdre, 9%, gives depth and a subtle savoury accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3037\" data-end=\"3068\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3070\" data-end=\"3540\"\u003e The color is deep garnet red with purple reflections.
