Aurore de Dauzac hails from a specific plot on the eastern edge of the Château Dauzac estate—the name refers to the vineyard's location as the "rising sun vines" (Aurore means dawn). The site features sandy-gravel soils and is managed using sustainable practices, contributing to the wine’s bright fruit profile and freshness.
The 2022 Aurore de Dauzac is composed of 60% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot, offering a fresher, more supple expression compared to the grand vin.
A year in which Dauzac excelled! Both Aurore de Dauzac and Labastide Dauzac are showing really well. Aurore is a bit deeper and structured with bright black fruit, berries, fine spices and crushed stones. Dusty tannins crumble nicely on the palate with full body and a long, powdery finish. Lots of energy. Already approachable thanks to its initial balance and the fine quality of tannins, but it will improve with more complexity in two to three years. Keep an eye on this.
Pure and graceful, this delivers a long, seductive flow of iris, hibiscus and violet notes that pull along a core of gently mulled black cherry and blackberry fruit before letting it all end with a pretty curl of black tea. Delicious and fully approachable already. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2035. 9,500 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
