Domaine les Aurelles - Aurel / 2004 / Red
Quick Overview
The style of wine is bigger, fatter and juicier, with elegant fruit, and even more pepper and spice. The older vintages are now rare, and show the enormous potential of this domaine.
Domaine Description
This is a class act headed by Basile St Germain who was a mid life convert to wine production and started his vinous life working in Bordeaux and Château Latour. He decided to come to the Languedoc and produce a fine wine of his own, wines of finesse. He carefully selected his 12.5 hectares on terroir similar to that of the graves in Bordeaux. It is a refreshing change to see a top quality producer refraining from using wood with the vinification of reds and indeed it is only Basile’s white which is vinified in barriques. Very much a rising star, Basile’s philosophy is to strive for perfection working closely with nature using organic methods. His wines are the epitome of elegance and purity.
