Tasting Notes

Dark and viscous. Tension between light and dark fruit draws you in, inviting you to taste. A bit of plum and wild, funky raspberry. Silky and supple this glides across the palate draping pretty flowers and a mineral freshness across your tongue. There is a pitch and tone here which just sings. Delicately spun with effortless grace. Stunning score: 18.5

ProducerChâteau Ausone

Château Ausone is perched on the hillside in the southern outskirts of the village of Saint Emilion, named after the Roman poet Ausonius. With 7.3 hectares of vines and its vineyards on a steep, south-east facing slope they flourish with the protection from cold north winds and westerly rain. The vines at the top of the slope thrive on limestone (the 'St Emilion plateau') whilst those further down benefit from a clay / loam topsoil (the 'Côtes'). Nowadays this has continued with the ubiquitous Michel Rolland as consultant,  now producing ultra-rich, exotically fruity wines that benefit from ageing.
