Aussières dates back to Roman times. No wonder it stirred the interest of Baron Eric de Rothschild, who saw “exceptional potential”. He was right and it is now classed as one of Languedoc's top estates, showcased by this superb Cabernet Syrah.

The Wine
You’ll have heard of Château Lafite, “Bordeaux’s most famous property, synonymous with wealth, prestige and remarkable clarets” (Robert Parker). But did you know the winemaking team occasionally pick an estate from outside Bordeaux and polish it into a world beater worthy of the Lafite Rothschild name? Not many do.
