Domaine d'Aussières Blason d'Aussières

Blason d'Aussières is the second wine of the eponymous winery in Corbières — more approachable than the Grande Cuvée, but with the same southern French character in the glass.

Château d'Aussières lies in the heart of the Corbières, near Narbonne, and is owned by the Rothschild family (Domaines Barons de Rothschild). The estate combines Bordeaux winemaking philosophy with the rugged terroir of the Languedoc: poor soils, abundant sunshine, and the typical grape varieties of the south.

On the nose, Mediterranean garrigue aromas—thyme, lavender, a hint of dried herbs—combined with dark elderberry and a light spice note. Aging in oak barrels gives the wine structure without dominating it: the tannins are present but rounded, the body full-bodied with a spicy, medium-length finish.

Serving suggestion: Decanting recommended, serve at 16–18 °C. Pairs well with lamb chops with rosemary oil, grilled merguez sausage, or a strong fresh goat cheese. Drinking window: now until 2027.
