Lovely sweet fruit mintiness. Cedar and woodsmoke come through, with a brightness and raciness to the wine. The palate too has lovely poise and balance, the dry, savoury quality crying out for a chunk of crunly cheddar or slice of rare roast beef.

Producer Information

Louis, hugely talented, had learned his trade whilst working for his father Franois Mitjavile, the iconic trailblazer at Tertre Roteboeuf in St Emilion and Roc de Cambes in the Ctes de Bourg. Louis had forged a remarkable reputation in his own right, consulting widely, before he acquired this fabulous estate in the Ctes de Castillon, an appellation which borders St Emilion and enjoys the same clay/limestone soil as its esteemed neighbour. Louis aim is to harvest super-ripe grapes which offer intense black fruit, allied to ripe, supple tannins, making for a seductive, richly-textured palate. His challenge in the cellar is to extract the fruits full potential in a gentle, regular way and then stabilise the result through long maturation in new oak barriques. Louis wants to see opulence in his wines, rather than concentration, with balance being the overall objective. Domaine de lAurage is a tremendous ambassador for the Ctes de Castillon appellation, sumptuous, elegant and long.
