Our Review of the Cuvée
Domaine Augustin
On the breezy hillsides near the sea, Domaine Augustin cultivates old Carignan and Grenache vineyards that produce wines of fine integrity. The fruit, which tends toward the darker side, retains an unexpected freshness thanks to the proximity of the sea. The aging process is understated, aiming more to smooth out the rough edges than to impose a particular style. There is often a briny tension that brings dynamism to the blends, along with a slightly wild aroma typical of the surrounding scrubland. This is an estate that is steadily progressing, crafting wines that are straightforward, consistent, and highly representative of today’s Corbières.
