- Domaine de l’Aurage is Louis Mitjavile’s Côtes de Castillon estate, with the first vintage created in 2007.
- The son of Tertre Rotebeouf proprietor François Mitjavile, Louis has taken inspiration from his father.
- The vineyard location is close to Saint-Emilion and features similar terroir and soil.
- Louis has planted the plot almost entirely to Merlot, with only a small (and decreasing) amount of Cabernet Franc.
- This young property is already garnering attention from consumers and critics alike celebrating the promise of these wines.
The property is 20 hectares in one block on clay-limestone soil. It is a high-density vineyard planted to more than 6500 vines/hectare.
Vinified in concrete and aged in French oak (average of 80% new, but can vary dependent on vintage).
