The estate and the wine |
|
|
"Mitjavile" wines inspire a near-mythical devotion. Enthusiasts from around the world rush to secure each new vintage upon release, often treating these bottles as prized collectibles.
What sets "Mitjavile" wines apart is a singular winemaking style that’s instantly recognizable, applied across all the terroirs they cultivate, from Tertre Roteboeuf to L’Aurage. These wines are powerful, richly textured, and irresistibly indulgent, even in their youth. While they may spark debate among some, most adore them—and a devoted few revere them. One thing is certain: "Mitjavile" wines never leave anyone indifferent. |

The 2021 red Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux L’Aurage benefits from a late-ripening terroir, where the grapes mature slowly—ideal conditions for the Merlot that makes up the majority of this cuvée. The result is a wine that is both delicate and aromatic, well-structured, and built for aging, while remaining fresh and balanced with a long-lasting finish. It can already be enjoyed for its freshness and fullness, or cellared for a decade or more. |
