Tasting notes
Domaine de l'Aurage ‘Le Versant’ 2020 is a beautifully ripe and modern expression of Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, crafted from 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. It shows a deep ruby hue and a seductive nose of blackberry, licorice, and mocha. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with ripe tannins, lively freshness, and a creamy, polished texture that gives the wine both richness and harmony.
More About The Winery
The estate was bought in 2007 by Caroline and Loulou Mitjaville, after years of consulting on different properties around the world. They fell under the spell of "Chateau Cadet" which they then renamed L'Aurage. This 22-hectare estate is spread over a clay-limestone soil in the Côtes de Castillon appellation. Loulou works according to the family know-how and like Tertre-Roteboeuf and Roc de Cambes the grapes are picked at high maturity and the wines are aged in new barrels from Radoux. He sublimates the merlot, the grape variety of choice of the Mitjaville family, to produce great wines of Castillon.
