Ausone 1975, from the renowned Saint-Émilion estate, offers a blend primarily of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This vintage reflects the unique terroir of the region, presenting a character shaped by the limestone and clay soils. Ausone is produced in limited quantities, typically around 20,000 bottles annually, and the estate itself boasts a history dating back to Roman times. The wine is notable for its balance and the evolution of its flavours over decades, showcasing the influence of time on its structure.
The 1975 Ausone is a vintage that I had never tasted before. There is some maturity on the brick rim although it is commensurate with its age. The palate is a little loose-knit with leather and rusty piping usurping the black fruit. The palate is full-mature with soft tannin, quite leathery in style with a little dryness towards the finish. But there is a sense of vitality here unlike the preceding three vintages. You just come away thinking that any bottles should be drunk soon. Tasted at the Ausone vertical in London.
