Château Ausone 2022 is a sensuous yet tightly focused Saint-Émilion, layering ripe black cherry, cassis and blueberry fruit with violet, dark chocolate, tobacco, graphite and crushed stone detail. The palate is plush and full-bodied but superbly poised, its silky, near-invisible tannins and vibrant acidity giving great drive and length to a finish laced with spice and floral nuance.
Roast rack of lamb with rosemary; dry-aged ribeye with bone marrow; pigeon or squab with truffle jus; beef Wellington; wild mushroom and thyme risotto.
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.
