PRESENTATION OF DOMAINE LES AURELLES
+ ALL ITS OTHER WINES IN STOCK

Domaine Les Aurelles Languedoc Pézenas Solen red 2015

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 (Sept. 2021): 93/100. Solen is more radiant than usual in 2015, the tannin grain is fine but the finish leads us to a certain dryness.

Bettane and Desseauve Guide 2021 : 16/20. The warmth of the 2015 vintage is evident in this cuvée with great complexity of flavors, very long with a fine tannin still a bit tight on the finish as Solen often is in its early years. Note that Solen 2014 was not produced.
