Note di degustazione
One of the most sought after insider wines of Castillon, owned by Louis Mitjavile, L’Aurage is just an awesomely delicious drop of Bordeaux, and a steal for the quality that you are getting. Expect blueberry and raspberry fruits, supple tannins with salted cracker edges reflecting its brilliant clay limestone soils. The Mitjaviles are also owners of Roc des Cambes and Tertre Rotebouef, and know how to deliver exceptional wines that sit outside of the traditional Bordeaux system of classifications and starry named appellations.

The 2019 L’Aurage has a pretty if rather light nose of crushed strawberry and mulberry fruit, ripe but focused and infused with touches of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied with toasty red fruit, black pepper, sage and tea leaves, and still that tincture of dried blood on the finish. Fine.
The 2019 Domaine de L'Aurage is gorgeous, although it is not quite as forward as it was from barrel. Dark cherry, mocha and crushed flowers are brightened by brisk acids and a kick of tannin that should help the wine age gracefully for a decade or more.
95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Barrel sample. Mitjavile stamp of rich, almost jammy fruit interwoven with integrated oak. Sweet, fulsome and gourmand on the palate but a chalky, terroir note adds balancing freshness. Tannins plentiful but well-knit. (JL)
