Chateau Ausone 2023 is a vividly sculpted, Cabernet Franc–driven Saint-Émilion, unfolding with intense dark berry and cherry fruit wrapped in violet, smoke and spice, all carried by a vibrant, mineral core. The palate is at once pure and concentrated, with muscular yet velvety tannins and a seamless, long finish that marries depth and finesse in striking fashion.
Roast saddle of lamb with rosemary and garlic; pigeon or squab with truffle jus; dry-aged ribeye steak; cep mushroom risotto; duck breast with blackberry reduction.
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.
