Dark berries and vibrant plum cascade from the glass in Chateau Ausone 2015, wrapped in notes of rose, fine spice, cocoa and polished cedar. The palate is dense yet incredibly pure, layering blue and black fruits over silk-sheathed but powerful tannins, with a line of freshness that carries the flavours for what feels like minutes. A majestic, benchmark Saint-Émilion that shows why 2015 is regarded as one of the estate’s modern greats.

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.
