Domaine de L’Aurage 2022 – Castillon Côtes-de-Bordeaux

The nose is marked by fruit and a certain concentration. We find notes of small black berries, blackcurrant and, small notes, small roasted and elegant fruits, associated with touches of fig, sage and discreet hints of lilac and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is nicely structured, supple, with straightness, density and a beautiful verticality. Good definition. We perceive notes of pulpy blackcurrant, quite ripe blueberry, and small notes small roasted fruits associated with touches of cardamom, mocha, as well as fine notes of tobacco, roasted hazelnut and toasted notes. Good length, with mellow and sapid tannins. The wine leaves a gourmande sensation and a nice juiciness in the background. A slightly tight feel at the finish.
