Tasting Notes

A charming rustic aged red. This opens with blackberry, violets, lavender, red and black cherries and a touch of earthiness. Fully integrated tannins make for a smooth, polished mouthfeel. A very interesting wine. - Aaron C.

Domaine de l’Ausseil is a small, artisanal estate based in the village of Latour-de-France in the Roussillon. Founded in 2001 by former journalist Jacques de Chancel, the domaine spans roughly 10 hectares of organically farmed vineyards planted on steep, stony slopes of schist and gneiss. The name “Ausseil,” meaning “kite” in the local Occitan dialect, reflects both the birds that soar above the vineyards and the estate’s light, free-spirited approach.

Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and Macabeu form the backbone of the plantings, many of them from old vines rooted deeply in poor soils that naturally limit yields. Jacques works with great respect for the land, applying organic and biodynamic principles, hand harvesting, and avoiding chemical inputs.

In the cellar, fermentations are carried out with native yeasts, extraction is gentle, and sulfur use is minimal. Aging takes place in a mix of concrete, stainless steel and neutral barrels, allowing the wines to retain freshness and purity while expressing the rugged minerality of the terroir.

Domaine de l’Ausseil’s wines are known for their energy, lift and detail, combining the natural power of Roussillon fruit with a finesse and elegance that set them apart.
