2021 DOMAINE D'AUSSIÈRES Altan d'Aussières AOC CORBIÈRES

Altan is named after a wind that blows in from the sea. The grapes are selected from the plots at the base of the slopes that separate the property from the Mediterranean, thus benefiting from the breeze that brings freshness and humidity and tempers the sometimes dry, arid climate. These conditions allow the berries to maintain a good balance and to keep relatively fine skins.

Winter 2021 was characterized by relatively cool temperatures, with several frost episodes. There was low rainfall in the months that followed. Harvest began on September 13.

Aromas of fresh flowers, enhanced with peppery notes and cherry covered in praline, aromatic herbs (thyme, sage, juniper, and rosemary).
