Chateau D'Aussières Corbières Red Wine 75cl

Lafite’s mention as a medieval fief dates to the 14th century. The name Lafite comes from the Gascon language term " la hite", which means "hillock". The Rothschild estate gave to the world one of its finest offerings - The DBR Château d’Aussières is the "cuvée d’excellence", the product of a strict selection from the best plots in the vineyard, made in limited quantities. 40% is aged in oak barrels for 12 to 16 months. The wines express all the richness and elegance of the late-ripening, cool terroir. The wine puts on a beautiful dark colour with glints of black. The nose is still closed, confirming the wine’s youth. Relatively understated attack, quickly developing volume on the plate, with notes of black fruit and spices. The tremendous richness of the Mourvèdre combined with the balance of the Syrah and the finesse of the Grenache gives this wine a very elegant tannic structure. Well-integrated notes from the barrel ageing mingle harmoniously in the long, lingering finish.
