Tasting Note
Beautiful bright yellow with pale green highlights. Nose: Light notes of pink grapefruit and almond blossom. Palate: This Chardonnay reveals the complexity of the 2016 vintage in the Languedoc. Ageing on the lees gives the wine richness and body, that are accompanied by freshness and finesse through to the particularly long finish. 100% Chardonnay.

Aussieres
From the 1950s, Aussières was swept up in the decline of the Languedoc as a credible wine-producing region, and this led to the abandonment of the vineyard and the departure of wine-growers. Fortunately, today, the Languedoc area has turned a new page and is gradually moving toward the production of high-quality wines: Aussières is an excellent example. Acquired in 1999 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the 550-hectare estate has undergone a vast rehabilitation programme. 167 hectares of vines have been replanted with carefully selected traditional Languedoc grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan, complemented by Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay. The estate buildings were restored at the same time and a new winery was installed in the old cellars, in the heart of the vineyard.
