Tasting Notes
Beautiful garnet colour with glints of deep purple. The nose offers fresh almonds and hint of smoke, developing aromas of blackberries and star anise with aeration. Rounded, delicate palate with silky tannins on the finish.
History
When Eric de Rothschild visited Aussires in 1999 he was immediately charmed by this place of untamed beauty, with amazing soul and history. The 170 hectares at the centre of the estate had been used to grow grapes for the better part of the last 2000 years. Over the past 20 years, tremendous work and investments have been engaged in both the vineyard and the winery, and Aussires is now recognized as one of the spearheads of Languedoc's renewal.
Regional Information
The estate is nestled in the rugged hills just behind the Mediterranean coastline of Narbonne, in the South of France.
The soils are very shallow; rocky on the slopes and deeper & sandy on the plain. Yields are voluntarily kept very low in order to preserve the vines and ensure the production of high quality grapes. The grapes come from flatter, lower lying parts of the estate where the soils are deeper.
Current Vintage
2020
Vinification Details
The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, destemmed and then vinified using traditional maceration methods. The maceration period varies from 10 to 12 days with gentle extraction and fermentation at fairly low temperatures (around 25C) in stainless steel vats in order to preserve the wine's full aromatic potential. Ageing is then carried out in vats so as to keep all of the fruit's freshness and purity.
