Flavor & character

Aroma A rich and inviting bouquet of ripe raspberries, cherries and blackcurrants, subtly complemented by notes of black pepper, liquorice and a hint of Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary.

Taste Rounded and smooth on the palate. You taste an abundance of juicy red fruit, supported by soft, silky tannins. The balance between freshness and ripe fruit concentration is excellent.

Finish A medium-long and harmonious finish with persistent fruitiness and a light spicy touch.

Serving tips & pairings

The ultimate moment of enjoyment

• Temperature: Serve this wine at a temperature between 15°C and 17°C. Drinking it too warm would emphasise the alcohol too much, while this temperature allows the fruitiness to speak at its best.

• Glassware: Use a generous Bordeaux glass to give the aromas room to unfold.

Gastronomic pairings

• Meat dishes: An excellent partner for grilled lamb, tender steak or a classic coq au vin.

• Pasta & Buffet: Delicious with pasta in red sauces, lasagne or a rich drinks platter with hard cheeses.

• Cheese: The perfect partner for Henri Willig Belegen Koekaas. The savoury structure of the cheese forms a beautiful contrast with the fruity notes of the wine.

• Savoury snack: A bowl of Marcos Tonda Delicatesse almonds provides a savoury accent that brings out the subtle spice of the Syrah beautifully.

The perfect gift

• The Aussières Rouge is an impressive gift for lovers of full-bodied red wines. With the name Domaines Barons de Rothschild on the label, you give a wine that stands for quality, tradition and pure indulgence.
