Ausone 2022

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

"Intense and concentrated, with fennel, aniseed and liqourice root. Where Chapelle d'Ausone celebrates a wave of opulence in the vintage, this focuses more clearly on black tea, slate, intense black chocolate. Precise and well cut, this is creamy and exuberant without sacrificing elegance and balance. Amazing depths of flavour and grip." - 98-100pts - Jane Anson
