Domaine d'Aussières
Aussières was built on a fertile ecosystem where nature and people come together to learn from each other and create. Our village is very much a living place, where dialogue is the cardinal value. A dialogue of many kinds: between the elements, between the generations that have labored its grounds, between its villagers and craftsmen, and between the wine world’s different schools of thought.That is what moves us forward, ultimately creating wines that tell a story of place, respect and nuance.
The vintage
After a winter corresponding to what is becoming the norm, a few passages below zero with rather mild days. An episode of frost after budburst caused some damage. The months of March and April were well watered, which allowed a good start to the vegetation . The rain left us alone until the end of June, which allowed us to be quite serene in terms of health. A beautiful storm at the end of June allowed the vines to withstand the heat of July and August without any particular stress. In short, even if the total rainfall was not significant, the timing was perfect.
During the harvest, the weather conditions were generally favourable: little humidity, seasonal temperatures and good sunshine which allowed the grapes to ripen well.
The Grenache Syrahs were harvested on 16, 22 and 28 September 2022.

Tasting
The colour is a beautiful soft pink with cherry reflections, the wine is limpid, clear and brilliant.
The white fruit nose opens with notes of strawberry and a hint of menthol.
On the palate, there is an attack of grapefruit, a fat and ample mid-palate with notes of almond pastry and a hint of liquorice. The long, delicate finish unfolds on red fruits aromas.
