Terrasses d'Aussières
Corbières
Vintage 2006
In the Languedoc, 2006 will be remembered as a generous vintage.
The winter was very wet and the cold weather lasted well into the spring, leading to late development of the vines. Between May and June, however, the weather was very good and provided us with excellent flowering conditions. Despite the very hot weather in July, conditions in August were temperate with light rainfall, which was ideal for the maturation of the grapes. The cloudy weather in September was good for the later-ripening varieties.
Very dark and intense colour. Deep and harmonious on the nose with a good balance of fresh red fruit and discreet oak. Elegant and full on the front palate, becoming more powerful. A wine bursting with rich fruit, almost like biting into a ripe Burlat cherry. Long finish with ripe, silky tannins.
