Domaine d'Aussières Altan d'Aussières Rouge

Southern France in its purest form: The Altan d'Aussières Rouge combines the aromatic power of the Languedoc with meticulous craftsmanship in the cellar.

Domaine d'Aussières is located in the Corbières, one of the oldest wine-growing regions of the Midi, not far from Narbonne. The winery belongs to the Rothschild family (Lafite) and is run as an independent domaine with a clear focus on the local terroir – dry soils, intense sun, garrigue vegetation.

In the glass, the Altan displays aromas of blackberry and black cherry, underpinned by thyme, sage, and a hint of juniper – typical garrigue notes of the region. Six months of aging in small oak barrels give the wine structure: firm, yet well-integrated tannins, and a spicy, lingering finish. After a further eight to ten months of bottle aging, it becomes rounded and approachable.

Serving suggestion: Best served at 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb with herbs de Provence, entrecôte, or a strong goat cheese. Also a good choice to accompany an evening of southern charcuterie.

The Domaine

Domaine d'Aussières

Domaine d'Aussières is located in the heart of the Languedoc – a region that long stood in the shadow of the great wine regions and is now one of the most exciting addresses in France. Behind it is none other than the house of Lafite Rothschild, which manages this domaine with the same sense for quality and origin that has made it world-famous.

No prestige posturing, but real craftsmanship: The sites around Narbonne give wines that smell of sun-warmed garrigue, of ripe dark fruits, and a hint of wild herbs. The result is red wines that carry the character of the south – powerful, but with elegance. Wines that show that the Languedoc has more to offer than many think.
