Château Ausone

Château Ausone
Château Ausone comprises seven hectares of vines located on the best terroirs of Saint-Émilion. Château Ausone produces an AOC Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. Along with Château Cheval Blanc, it is classified Premier Grand Cru Classé A.

Château Ausone has been owned by Alain Vauthier since 1997, and in the space of ten years, with the help of oenologist Michel Rolland, he has succeeded in making it the absolute world-famous Saint-Emilion wine. Around 15,000 to 18,000 bottles of Château Ausone are produced each year. It is the archetypal powerful, highly aromatic Saint-Emilion wine, with the character of its limestone terroir expressing itself through great minerality and a long, fresh style.

"Rated 100/100 by Jeff Leve!"

"Château Ausone 2020 is exceptional. Usually more showy, it's packed with lively acids, deep fruit and a very solid structure. Dark red fruits, blood orange, pomegranate, rose petal, mocha and dried herbs come through the glass. Deep and layered, with magnificent finesse, Ausone is in top form in 2020. What a wine! Readers lucky enough to own it are in for an exciting experience over the next few decades. " (Vinous 2022)

Château Ausone 2008

Notes : Robert Parker 98/100, Bettane & Desseauve 19,5/20, RVF 19/20, Gault Millau 18,5/20
" Probably the "Wine of the Year", the 2008 boasts a deep purple color and a sumptuous perfume of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberry liqueur, camphor, truffle and mineral notes. Very fruity on the attack, it is round and full-bodied, structured and endowed with endless persistence. Give it 5 to 8 years in the cellar and enjoy it over the next 40 to 50 years". (Robert Parker - May 2011)
