- Notizen des Weinguts: „Auzines is a unique family run estate in the Corbières Appellation, South of France. Isolated on a rocky plateau, at 1200 feet altitude, in the heart of some of the most beautiful, untouched countryside in France, the vine-yards have been cultivated organically since the early 90’s. This allows the grapes to express their true character and mature in ideal conditions where the vineyards grow in true harmony with nature. The resulting wines express freshness, elegance and finesse. Its deep red robe with purple highlights indicates a rich, concen-trated body but this wine also has surprising freshness and ele-gance. Ripe cherry fruit with typical Languedoc notes of herbs (thyme, sage) and pepper. Can be served slightly chilled. Pair with hearty dishes such as stews, roasted game or a cheese platter. Delicious now but will develop well for up to 5 years. Serve between 16° and 18°C.“
