The Story
One of Saint-Émilion's most prestigious estates, Château Ausone is renowned for producing wines of exceptional elegance, depth, and longevity. Aromas of dark berries, violets, graphite, cedar, and spice lead to a refined palate with silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and remarkable complexity.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, venison, duck, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
While there is certainly plenty of wood here, the wine has weight and impressive concentration for the year. The tannins are still brooding away, giving a dark, firm character to the wine. Blackberry fruits and acidity are there, but still well buried in the tannins.
91 Points - Wine Spectator
Berry and milk chocolate aromas, with hints of flowers, follow through to a medium-to-full body, with very silky tannins and a delicious, fruity finish. Subtle and pretty, balanced and gorgeous. So refined and caressing. Best after 2013.
