A d'Aussières Blanc 2024, IGP Pays d'Oc, France

£15.00

Acquired in 1999 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the 550 hectare 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, Mourvèdre and Carignan, complemented by Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay. The consistency and remarkable potential of the wines produced since 2003 have already positioned Aussières as one of the front runners in the revival of the Languedoc.

Aussières Blanc 2024 has a rich, complex nose in which one finds notes of flowers (lily of the valley, broom), patisserie (butter, brioche), ripe fruit (apricots) and honey. On the palate, the attack is round, and the wine has a lively, fresh character. There is the minerality that also constitutes Aussières Blanc’s identity, and which here underscores a broad palette of fruity (tart apple, cider apple), and sweet dessert notes. A hint of freshly grated hazelnut brings the wine to a very harmonious finish.
