Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17.5/20
Very deep crimson. Very fine and appetising and savoury. Fine and delicious for relatively early drinking. Intense but fine. Gouleyant. Like a cross between a good cigar and very ripe blackberries. Well put together. Great balance. A really lovely wine. jancis_robinson_mw - www.JancisRobinson.com - 18-Apr-2006

The second wine of Ausone, the Chapelle d’Ausone, usually represents about 50% of the production from this tiny historic vineyard. The 2005 has a dense minerality, sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit, and plenty of flowers and crushed rock in a full-bodied, stunningly concentrated style. Amazingly, this second wine is probably better than many of the great Ausones from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s! Drink it over the next 30+ years robert_parker erobertparker_com #219 Jun 2015

About this wine

Château Ausone

Château Ausone is a wine estate in St Emilion on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. It takes its name from the poet Ausonius, who is thought to have owned a villa where the estate stands today – just outside the medieval village of St Emilion. Ausone’s vineyards sit atop St Emilion’s limestone plateau and extend in terraces down the côtes. There are just over six hectares of vines planted today, mostly Cabernet Franc along with Merlot. The team practice organic and biodynamic viticulture though without certification.
