The 2018 Domaine de L’Aurage is succulent, racy and forward, all of which give a good deal of immediacy. Today, the 2018 is clearly an infant and not totally harmonious just yet. Then again, these wines have a way of coming together during élevage. Dried herbs, coffee and spice add lovely aromatic top notes.

The 2018 Domaine de L'Aurage shows all of the radiance of the year in this super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, blood orange, mint and floral notes. L'Aurage is an attractive wine, but I feel the ripeness is a bit pushed for my taste.
