The 2018 vintage wasn’t, in fact, quite as extravagantly warm in Languedoc as it was in other regions; nonetheless there’s no mistaking the solar force in this blend of 76% Syrah with 24% Mourvèdre. It’s still almost saturatedly black-red, with exotic, fleshy aromas of bramble-scented fruits freshened with a little pine. This sturdy, rich, impressively textured Aussières has denser tannins and (I’d guess) more copious extract than its peers; more alcoholic wealth, too. The fruit of two higher-sited, clay-soiled parcels of Syrah help bring freshness, though. ... More details

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 palate, 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.
