Blason d'Aussières
Corbières
Vintage 2007
In 2007, the weather in the Languedoc was excellent. There was little rain, but it fell at the right time. This encouraged ideal vegetal development of the vine until harvest. Thanks to a very mild summer, the different varieties all reached a very good level of ripeness. This balanced vintage boosted the quality of the plots planted with Mourvèdre.
Beautiful dark red colour with hints of violet. The nose is already very expressive and, like the Château d’Aussières 2007, the wine’s Languedoc character is given full expression in this vintage. The notes of spices and herbal Provencal garrigues explode this year!
The wine immediately presents good volume in the mouth. The increase in strength is crescendo and very harmonious with well-balanced concentration. The long finish offers deliciously persistent notes of black olive tapenade.
Best time for drinking: 2008-2011
