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
The 2024 vintage begins with a significant water deficit in the vine’s reserves. Early-season growth is weak, but recovers thanks to life-saving rains at the end of April. Phenological development is very uneven, even within the same plots. A few millimetres of rain fall at the beginning of May, followed by a warm June that stimulates active growth. The summer of 2024 is not as hot and dry as in 2023, which is good news for the vegetative development of the vines and the ripening of the grapes. Harvesting of white and rosé grapes begins at the end of August, while red grape harvests must wait another 15 days, starting in mid-September. Ripening took its time, but once achieved, grape quality was clearly present.

Tasting
The robe is brilliant, light peach in color.
The nose is a delicate blend of raspberry, grapefruit, and peach, with indulgent notes of apricot.
The attack is crisp, followed by a rich palate that combines red fruit aromas with generous depth. The finish lingers with subtle saline notes, evoking the Mediterranean.
