Acquired in 1999 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the 550 hectare Domaine d’Aussires estate has witnessed a vast rehabilitation project. To date, 167 hectares of vines have been replanted with carefully selected traditional Languedoc grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvdre and Carignan, complemented by Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay. The estate buildings were restored at the same time and a new winery installed in the old cellars, in the heart of the vineyard. The consistency and remarkable potential of the wines produced since 2003 have already positioned Aussires as one of the front runners in the revival of the Languedoc. A d’Aussires is a multi-varietal red wine blend combining Syrah; Cabernet Franc; Cabernet Sauvignon; Alicante; Grenache; Marselan; Mourvdre; Petit Verdot and Merlot grapes.Beautiful deep red colour with garnet highlights. Expressive on the nose with notes of blackcurrant, mild spices and hints of chocolate.Every varietal adds to the generosity of this wine. The palate is soft and supple with juicy mediterranean fruit dominating, with a touch of spice towards the finish.
