Ausone 2018

Château Ausone is one of the most prestigious Saint-Emilion producers and its low yields make it one of the most sought after wines in the world.  Château d'Ausone is a tiny estate: just seven hectares and there's something almost mythical about this property, which produces long-lived wines that can thrill with their intensity, density, and length.

Review

"... In short: a lot. The ripe, rich, black and blue fruit layers eventually give way to the beautifully cerebral earthy/minerally subtext, carried by fantastically well-knit tension, delivering an incredibly long, foundation-shaking finish. If the earth doesn't move when you drink this, you're probably not doing it right."- 100pts - Wine Advocate
