Château d'Aussières Corbieres 2018

Château Lafite Rothschild is praised by Robert Parker as being “Bordeaux’s most famous property, synonymous with wealth, prestige and remarkable clarets.” Beyond Bordeaux, the owners have invested in a handful of estates, polishing them into world-class status worthy of the Lafite Rothschild name. In 1999, Baron Eric de Rothschild discovered Domaine d’Aussières in Corbières. He had the soils analysed, recognised the estate’s potential, and bought it. In a complete overhaul, vines were replanted and the cellar renovated. This is their Grand Vin – over half Syrah, the grape that performs best there, with finest Mourvèdre and Grenache – 40% barrel aged. It demonstrates how good wines from Languedoc can be. Enjoy alongside rich meat dishes.
