FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are Languedoc wines listed on this page categorized under the Rhône Valley?

The page’s classification under the Rhône Valley does not match the appellation of every bottle featured. Six wines are associated with Languedoc; “La Roussanne” 2019 and the non-vintage “La Syrah n°1” are listed in the Rhône Valley region, but carry the Vin de France appellation.

Does the name “Aurel” refer to a red or a white wine?

Both colors are listed under this name: Languedoc-Pézenas “Aurel” as a red and Côteaux du Languedoc Blanc “Aurel” as a white. The red is presented in 2017 and 2018, while the white is listed in 2016 and 2017, so be sure to check the full designation as well as the vintage.

Which bottles should I choose to explore the domaine’s cuvées from the 2017 vintage alone?

You can bring together Languedoc-Pézenas “Solen,” Languedoc-Pézenas “Aurel” and Côteaux du Languedoc Blanc “Aurel,” all presented in 2017. This trio lets you discover two red cuvées and one white without changing vintages.

What role does oak play in the aging process described at Domaine Les Aurelles?

The domaine’s description highlights long, neutral aging in enamel-lined vats rather than aging in oak. The stated aim is to preserve the integrity of the fruit as much as possible; no specific aging period is given for the different cuvées.

What vineyard features characterize the Aurelles’ approach?

Basile and Caroline acquired the vines in the Pézenas area in 1995 and adopted an approach close to organic farming, banning fertilizers, weedkillers and pesticides, although no certification is specified. The domaine has 9 hectares of producing vines and 10 hectares of fallow land, on hillsides combining ancient sandy-gravel terraces and basalt scree.
