Note di degustazione
Made by Caroline and LouLou Mitjavile, son of Tertre Roteboeuf. Deep blackish ruby with a shaded rim. Heady and rich – very Mitjavile. Like it or loathe it. No one could accuse it of being tart!. It's just sumptuous, and much cheaper than its stablemates Tertre and Roc de Cambes. GV (JR)

A rich, flamboyant wine, the 2020 Domaine de l'Aurage bursts with aromas of plums, berries, licorice and spices framed by toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, it's velvety and layered, with powdery structuring tannins and an expensive finish.
I was pretty much blown away by the quality of the 2020 Domaine De L'Aurage, and this is one serious Castillon that readers should jump on if given the chance. Offering a brilliant nose of ripe currants, black cherry liqueur, sweet tobacco, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins. An absolutely stunning wine, as well as the finest wine I've tasted from this estate, it will evolve for 15 years or more.
The 2020 L'Aurage has an intense bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, almost pastille-like scents that are very pure, though it takes two or three minutes to coalesce in the glass. The palate is ripe on the entry with lively red fruit, a pinch of white pepper and sage, beautifully structured, while the oak has assimilated nicely during its barrel maturation. This grows on you with each sip and comes recommended.
