Intense, dark color with glints of purple. On aeration, the nose opens up substantially offering a rich aromatic profile, with pronounced Mediterranean aromas typical of the terroir, with sweet spices, liquorice, stewed garrigue fruit (figs, redcurrants, almonds). The palate is very pleasant, characterized by balance and harmony. Soft, elegant tannins coat flavors of Mediterranean cuisine (piquillo peppers stuffed with tapenade, fig jam, etc.), accompanied by notes of smoked tea and cigar. A wine with a multi-faceted character, Aussières Rouge can be consumed on almost any occasion and be paired with a very wide variety of foods.
