Goedhuis, October 2023
Domaine d'Aussières is one of Narbonne’s oldest properties and has been in the Rothschild family since 1999, when Baron Eric visited the region and fell in love with its rugged garrigue-strewn vineyards. Under DBR tutelage, the estate has been given a new lease of life and produces one of the Languedoc’s most sensational Corbières from Syrah, Grenache Noir and Carignan. A true terroir wine, its juicy, supple, earthy and slightly spicy flavours are tinged with the landscape’s wild juniper, sage, lavender and thyme. Generous and full-bodied, it is loaded with a big arc of fresh black cherry and fig.

Aussières has made wine since the Roman era, a period when the great properties of the “Roman province of Narbonne” were recorded in the land registry and became the main wine suppliers to Rome. Acquired in 1999 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite, the 550-hectare Domaine d’Aussières underwent a vast rehabilitation programme to restore and revitalize one of the oldest and most beautiful wine-making properties in the Narbonne region. Nearly 170 hectares of vines were replanted with carefully selected traditional Languedoc grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan, complemented by Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay. The estate buildings were restored at the same time and a new winery installed in the old cellars, in the heart of the vineyard. Two thirds of the vineyard fall in the Corbières AOC appellation and one third in the Vin de Pays d’Oc appellation.Read less
Region
Corbières
An appellation within the Languedoc in Southern France set in the Pyrenean foothills. This wild, hilly terrain is extremely varied, and old vines cling to the gnarled rocky hillside amongst the garrigue. Mourvèdre, Carignan, Grenache and Syrah thrive here in this wild environment, and produce wines with spice and concentration.
