Blason d'Aussières 2019 750ml Rothschild

TYPE OF WINE: Red wine AOC Corbières
PRODUCTION AREA: The estate is nestled in the rugged hills just behind the Mediterranean coast of Narbonne, in the south of France.
GRAPE VARIETIES: Syrah 36%, Grenache noir 35%, Mourvèdre 12%, Carignan 9%, Alicante-henri-bouschet 8%.
VINIFICATION: made according to the traditional method. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete tanks. During
fermentation, the wine is regularly pumped to allow gentle extraction of the tannins. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is left untouched for a couple of days. The total
maceration time is 15-2 days.
COLOUR: ruby red
BOUQUET: Pure, sunny bouquet with notes of flint and graphite. These aromas are mixed with scents of thyme, black truffle, a little liquorice and eucalyptus.
FLAVOUR: The palate has the same mineral character, but on a slightly different register (mentholated verbena, sage, laurel). Secondary notes (from fermentation) of
blackcurrant and blueberry jam and a hint of fruit brandy, a sign of the beginning of a very harmonious evolution. The tannins are well integrated, giving the wine a perfectly
balanced structure.
