Château d'Aussières: The spirit of Lafite in the Corbières

Château d'Aussières is considered by wine connoisseurs to be the 'sweet spot' for those who want to taste the elegance of Bordeaux in the rugged landscape of the Languedoc. Since the acquisition by DBR Lafite in 1999, the estate has been mapped metre by metre and replanted to capture the crystal-clear expression of the terroir. What makes this release special is its crystal-clear balance; despite the high alcohol percentage of 15,5%, the wine retains remarkable finesse. Syrah gives structure and pepper, while Mourvèdre provides crystal-clear layering and Grenache lends the wine its characteristic suppleness. This is a wine that brings the vibrant energy of the sun-drenched hills near Narbonne directly to your glass.

At Brouwhoeve, we appreciate Château d'Aussières for its exceptional ageing potential and gastronomic value. This is a red wine that shows how the Corbières can have a vibrant, modern face, with notes of liquorice and mocha melting beautifully into the freshness provided by the cool nights in the valley. The combination of concentrated extraction and silky-smooth texture gives a significantly fuller and more intense tasting experience than many other wines from the region. This is a modern classic that clearly reveals the hand of Lafite’s master winemakers. The 75 cl bottle is filled with the utmost care to preserve the complex aromas and powerful 15,5% character perfectly until the moment of relaxation.

Buying Château d'Aussières Corbières 75 cl means choosing liquid history in its purest and most balanced form. A vibrant, silky-smooth top wine for lovers of a powerful, spicy profile and a strikingly long, elegant finish.
