✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine d'Aussieres, nestled in the rugged hills of the Languedoc near Narbonne, is an estate steeped in history, with winemaking roots tracing back to the Roman Empire when it served as an abbey farm. Acquired in 1999 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the estate underwent a massive renaissance. The Aussieres Rouge is a vibrant expression of this revitalized terroir, typically blending classic Mediterranean varieties like Syrah with Bordeaux stalwarts like Cabernet Sauvignon. This combination marries the rich, spicy warmth of the Languedoc with the structured elegance championed by the Rothschild family. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its bright, sun-drenched fruit character, the wine offers a harmonious balance of wild berries, garrigue herbs, and soft, approachable tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1933 by the pioneering Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA is an internationally revered wine company anchored in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Alongside governing Premier Grand Cru Classé flagship Château Mouton Rothschild, the house crafts benchmark négociant and estate wines extending across Bordeaux, the Languedoc, and Chile's Maipo and Casablanca Valleys. The viticultural approach pairs high-standard sustainable practices—notably Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification and eco-friendly plot selection—with meticulous varietal expression. Across maritime Médoc gravels, Mediterranean limestone clay, and Pacific-cooled Chilean alluvial deposits, winemakers craft crisp, aromatic, and structured white expressions. Notable bottlings include Bordeaux blends such as Sélection Agneau Blanc and Berger Baron Blanc, Languedoc single-varietals like Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside Chilean representations like Escudo Rojo Chardonnay Reserva and Las Huertas Chardonnay. Each cuvée reflects the firm's exacting balance of pure fruit vibrancy, textural precision, and classical restraint.
