Aurore de Dauzac, Margaux, France 2022

Château Dauzac’s ambition is very clear: continue to progress among the best Médoc Grands Crus Classés. To achieve this objective, the men and women of Dauzac are drawing on the estate’s very DNA: a deep-rooted respect for tradition and innovation, all the while making the most of the estate’s strength – its biodiversity, which is a valuable resource for the quality of the wine it produces. To showcase this DNA, Château Dauzac has had a distinctive emperor yellow label since 1924, a symbol of light and sensory experiences.

Aurore de Dauzac is a single vineyard located on the far eastern side of the Dauzac estate, where the sun rises. In 1670, this plot had already been described as the “rising sun vines” (Aurore means dawn in French) and today it produces a fresh wine with intense fruitiness. The nose is floral with notes of fresh red fruits. The tannins are present but silky and offer a nice length.
