Domaine d’Aussières Altan d’Aussières Corbières 2021 (92 JS)
“Scented nose with dark cherries, roasted meat, dried herbs, mushrooms and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Velvety at the center with a juicy core of dark cherries and a chewier character at the edges with good structure and more of a compact expression towards the finish.”-J.S. 11/23

When it comes to heritage, not many wineries can measure up to Domaine d’Aussières. From supplying wine to ancient Rome nearly 2,000 years ago to falling under the ownership of Napoleon after the French Revolution, this tiny village in the Corbières AOC has seen its share of history. In 1999, Aussières was acquired by DBR Lafite and has since become a leader in organic farming, sustainability and social responsibility.
