Chateau Ausone 2021 unfurls with haunting floral perfume and pure blue and red fruits, laced with blood orange, exotic spice, dark cocoa and a subtle smoky graphite edge. The palate is full yet weightless, a satiny, mineral-driven core carried by bright acidity and ultra-fine tannins that glide into a long, limestone-marked finish of precision and finesse.
Roast rack of lamb with herbs; pigeon or squab with truffle jus; veal loin with morels; dry-aged ribeye; porcini risotto; aged Comté or Tomme de Savoie.

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.
