You get Château d’Aussières 2019, a Corbières red that delivers Lafite’s legendary polish with Languedoc sunshine and power. Originally acquired by the Rothschild family in 1999, Château d’Aussières has become one of the crown jewels of southern France, showing just how refined Corbières can be when handled with first-growth precision. The blend — 52% Syrah, with Carignan, Grenache, and Mourvèdre — spends time in barrels made at Lafite’s own cooperage, the very same oak used for Château Lafite itself. The result? A wine that’s classy, structured, and impossibly smooth, with ripe fruit, spice, and that unmistakable Lafite elegance. Think Bordeaux restraint meets Mediterranean warmth. Rated 94 Points (Decanter) and 93 Points (James Suckling), this $30 gem might be the best value in the entire Rothschild portfolio.
