Domaine de l'Aster - Languedoc Pézenas Le Hussard Noir 2020
3*Étoile
Hachette
"A sunny vintage with irresistible charm!"
In homage to his grandfather, a schoolteacher (nicknamed the "black hussars" by Charles Péguy), Jacques Bilhac has crafted a great Pézenas, very... Pézenas, with a distinctive, smoky nose of black fruits, pepper, and Zan. Refined by long aging (in barrels, vats, and bottles), the palate is comfortable, offering a beautiful texture, gently resting on melting, licorice-flavored tannins. Very caressing, smooth, powerful, but above all elegant, this wine borders on perfection." (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the estate:
Coming from an old winegrowing family, Jacques Bilhac, joined in 2003 by his brother Alex, manages 30 hectares of vineyards, most of whose grapes he sends to the cooperative winery. In 2014, the brothers built their own winery and withdrew 7 hectares from the cooperative to produce their own wines.
