"I was pretty much blown away by the quality of the 2020 Domaine De L'Aurage, and this is one serious Castillon that readers should jump on if given the chance. Offering a brilliant nose of ripe currants, black cherry liqueur, sweet tobacco, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins. An absolutely stunning wine, as well as the finest wine I've tasted from this estate, it will evolve for 15 years or more." |

“The 2020 L'Aurage has an intense bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, almost pastille-like scents that are very pure, though it takes two or three minutes to coalesce in the glass. The palate is ripe on the entry with lively red fruit, a pinch of white pepper and sage, beautifully structured, while the oak has assimilated nicely during its barrel maturation. This grows on you with each sip and comes recommended.” 91, Neal Martin, Vinous, Dec 2022
