Château Ausone 2024

Château Ausone se trouve au sud du village de St-Emilion. Devenu Premier Grand Cru Classé A en 1959, ce petit domaine (7 hectares, 45% merlot et 55% cabernet franc) est situé sur une pente assez raide orientée sud où les vignes d'une cinquantaine d'années donnent des rendements faibles. La partie supérieure repose sur un sol calcaire; la partie basse sur un sol d'argile, plus lourd. Elevé 20 à 22 mois en barriques neuves, Château Ausone produit désormais un vin très riche et concentré.

Aromas of dark berries, toasty oak and rich espresso roast mingle with hints of petals and spices, introducing the 2024 Ausone, a medium to full-bodied, lively and sapid wine that's a blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot. The tannins are nicely ripe, with some structuring oak tannin already lending a supporting presence on the finish.

The 2024 Ausone is pure sensuality. Intensely perfumed, pliant and silky on the palate, Ausone is haunting in its beauty. All the elements are so well balanced. Black cherry, lavender, mocha, espresso and exotic spice overtones all take shape in the glass. A wine of understated depth, the 2024 is impressive. Even in the early going, the 100% new oak is not at all evident, suggesting a wine with superior balance. The blend is 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot. 2034-2054.
