2019 Chateau d'Aussieres Corbieres

The 2019 Chateau d'Aussieres, made from 52% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 19% Mourvedre, and 9% Grenache Noir, is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It requires a little coaxing to bring out notes of baked black plums, fruitcake, and boysenberry preserves, followed by wafts of tobacco leaf, tar, and sauteed herbs. The full-bodied palate delivers spicy black fruit preserves layers with a chewy texture and savory finish.

Plenty of graceful black and red fruits, this is an impressively balanced wine from a warm vintage. Turmeric and smoked cumin kick things off, emphasing tight tannins that will soften over the next few years, before everything softens and opens through the mid palate to show a burst of baked raspberry, incense and rosemary spices, orange peel, plenty of juice. First time for the 167ha Domaine d'Aussières on the Place (or rather not in exclusivity with DBR Lafite). Director Jean de Roquefeuille (ex Rieussec), working alongside the group winemaker Olivier Tregoat.

Domaine d’Aussières 2019 (Corbières; 52% Syrah; 20% Carignan; 19% Mourvèdre; 9% Grenache Noir; 14.5% alcohol). A new release and the first wine from Corbières on la place. Naturally sweet scented, with the Syrah for now dominating the aromatics. Spicy and peppery. A little pencil shaving and graphite. This is quite ferrous in its minerality. Tense and with good vertical delineation, if a little foursquare and stolid for now. Above all dense and compact. An impressive wine that is likely to represent excellent value.
