Château Ausone is a Premier Grand Cru Classé ‘A’ property in Saint-Emilion producing some of the most highly sought-after wines in Bordeaux from its 7ha of vineyards. The 2005 release flirts with perfection with exceptionally deep but superbly defined layers of cassis, blueberry, liquorice, crushed rock and incense.
100 Vinous
The 2005 Ausone is magnificent. A wine of soaring intensity and class, the 2005 dazzles from the very first taste. The aromatics alone are captivating, with notes of cinnamon, mint, crushed rocks, blood orange, mocha and incense. Graceful and stately in bearing, the 2005 boasts tremendous purity and breathtaking balance. Readers will find a stunning Saint-Émilion that is just at the beginning of what promises to be a very long drinking window that will be measured in decades. It is a towering achievement from the Vauthier family. Antonio Galloni1st April 2021
