Dark, sensual fruit rolls out in Chateau Ausone 2010, with layers of blackberry, red plum, and blueberry laced with licorice, spice and a lifted floral note, all wrapped in glossy yet firmly structured tannins. The wine feels both powerful and composed, its abundant oak and mineral edge giving a serious backbone to the ripe, pure fruit, promising even more nuance as it continues to age. A great, long-haul Saint-Émilion that already shows remarkable clarity and tension.

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.
