About the Wine:
A true Pays d’Oc red with Bordelais flair–mainly Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is blended from the breadth of the domaine’s holdings. Domaine d’Aussière’s cool microclimate contributes to the signature freshness of the wine, while the Bordeaux varieties are particularly suited to the flatter, lower lying parts of the estate and their deeper soils with underlying sandy silt. The soft, harmonious tannins envelop a core of mild spices, blackcurrant, red cherry and fresh fig.

"Raspberry preserves, dried field grass and cranberry open on the nose of this fragrant wine that envelops and enlivens the senses. Blackberry tumbles with dried hay on the palate through the youthful-tannin finish. Drink now and will continue to improve in bottle through 2032." (Nov 2024)
