Blackcurrant and blueberry fruit in Chateau Ausone 2009 feels sculpted rather than showy, layered with floral tones, dark spice and a cool, stony edge that keeps all the richness in perfect check. The palate is dense yet graceful, with satin tannins, great freshness and a finish that seems to glide on long after you’ve set down the glass—an effortlessly grand, benchmark Ausone from this lauded vintage.

Château Ausone is the tiny, limestone-driven grand vin of Saint-Émilion, grown on steep asteriated-limestone and clay-limestone terraces just outside the medieval village and long considered one of Bordeaux’s greatest terroirs. Dominated by old Cabernet Franc and Merlot vines, it yields very small quantities of intensely mineral, perfumed and long-lived wine that combine power, finesse, and remarkable freshness, overseen today by the Vauthier family.
