Over the past 20 years, tremendous work and investments have been engaged in both the vineyard and the winery, and Aussières is now recognized as one of the spearheads of Languedoc's renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrape variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent vintage: 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate is nestled in the rugged hills just behind the Mediterranean coastline of Narbonne, in the South of France.
