Location

The estate is nestled in the rugged hills just behind the Mediterranean coastline of Narbonne, in the South of France.

​

Terroir

This traditionnal Corbières blend is made predominently of Syrah, with Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre, whilst the cooler terroir of Ausisères confer the wine its exceptionnel balance and finesse.

​

Winemaking

Blason d'Aussières is made according to the traditionnal method. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete tanks. The Carignan partially undergo carbonic maceration, contributing to its distinctive style. During fermentation regular pump over allow a gentle extraction of the tannins and phenolic compounds. Once the fermentation is completed, the wine is left untouched for a couple of days. Total maceration time stretches 15-20 days.

Tasting Note

The 2020 Blason has a deep colour with glints of crimson.  The forthcoming nose opens with notes of ripe red fruit, accompanied by hints of sweet spices and roasted dried fruit.
Generous and well-balanced on the palate with aromas of blackberry and redcurrant accompanied by notes of liquorice and hints of pepper. This wine offers all the scents and flavours of the garrigue !
