Aussières is a village whose roots go back to the Romans. From antiquity, to the Middle Ages, to the old wine-growing village of the 1960s, it’s the history of the place that has inspired Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite to continue this beautiful story.
In the heart of the Languedoc region, in the middle of the Fontfroide massif, Aussières benefits from a unique microclimate characterized by cooler air and marked temperature variations between day and night. It’s a unique terroir where grapes ripen more slowly, preserving the freshness and garrigue aromas characteristic of our wines.
Aussières covers more than 550 hectares in a single block, two-thirds of which is a wild massif, shaped by garrigue and forest, and only one-third of which is devoted to vines, grown organically. Among the Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Grenache vines grow olive, almond and other trees.
Château d’Aussières is more than a vineyard; it’s a living ecosystem where biodiversity and respect for the soil enrich every bottle, reflecting the soul of a rich terroir and the vision of a sustainable future. It’s a wine experience that recounts the union of tradition and avant-garde, in the heart of the Corbières.
