Notes from critics
Crafted by Louis Mitjavile—son of iconic Tertre Roteboeuf winemaker François Mitjavile—this Castillon red brings high-end precision to Bordeaux's Right Bank. A Merlot-dominated blend aged in new French oak barriques, it delivers opulent black cherry, sweet tobacco, and spice aromas with a velvety, layered mouthfeel. Exceptional depth and elegance.

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.

Polished and firm with fine tannins that provide form and beauty to this wine. Medium-bodied, creamy and attractive. Classy.
