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
Winter and early spring brought more rainfall than the two previous vintages. Budbreak went smoothly despite relatively dry conditions and, as early as May, temperatures rose above seasonal averages. Several heatwaves occurred in June, July and August. The intense heat and strong winds made the summer of 2025 particularly scorching, and several wildfires swept through the Corbières massif. Vine growth stopped early, but the grape load remained significant. The thunderstorm of July 14 temporarily revived vine growth, yet the tramontane kept blowing, increasing the vines’ water demand. By the end of August, the weather turned humid and heavy, though the grapes remained healthy. Chardonnay harvests began in mid-August, while those for rosé wines started in September. Syrah was harvested during the first half of September, followed by the other red grape varieties.

Tasting
Bright robe with a pale peach hue.
The nose is elegant, with tangy fruit aromas such as redcurrant and grapefruit, intertwined with delicate pastry notes.
The palate extends the richness and indulgence already perceived on the nose. It then reveals a beautiful structure that harmoniously envelops the palate. The finish lingers with a pleasant freshness and subtle saline notes.
