The estate and the wine |
|
|
François Mitjavile, star winemaker of the Bordeaux region, is as fascinating as the fabulous clay soil that bears his Château Tertre Roteboeuf, a Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion. A free and inspired figure, a philosopher of agricultural thought, he makes wines like no other, from this "extravagant terroir, the most exotic on the south coast" of Saint-Emilion.
Next to the Grand Cru Classé, on 10 hectares of clay and limestone on the border of Saint-Emilion, François and Louis Mitjavile produce a Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux at Domaine de l'Aurage. With the same philosophy and care as Tertre Roteboeuf, this wine cultivates independence of style and devastating charm. |

The 2007 Red Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux L'Aurage represents everything one expects from a great Bordeaux wine with a noble evolution. Notes of undergrowth, dried morel, truffle, dark chocolate and stewed black fruits form an ultra seductive nose; the delicate and refined palate, with a patina of time, offers round and accomplished tannins, perfectly melted in a delicately spiced finish. A beautiful bottle to associate with a veal chop with small vegetables for example. |
