Precision and perfume define Chateau Ausone 2024, a medium-bodied yet intense Saint-Émilion that glides on ultra-fine tannins. Black cherry, raspberry and cassis are layered with violet, graphite, dark roast coffee and subtle spice, giving a cool, mineral edge and great clarity rather than sheer power. This is a poised, classically styled Ausone that captures the best of a challenging vintage with remarkable finesse and length.

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.
