Château Ausone befindet sich im Süden von St-Emilion. Das kleine Weingut (7 Hektar, 45% Merlot und 55% Cabernet Franc), das 1959 zum Premier Grand Cru Classé A wurde, liegt an einem ziemlich steilen Südhang, wo die etwa 50 Jahre alten Rebstöcke geringe Erträge liefern. Der obere Teil des Weinbergs liegt auf Kalksteinboden, der untere Teil auf schwererem Lehmboden. Château Ausone wird 20 bis 22 Monate in neuen Fässern ausgebaut und produziert heute einen sehr reichen und konzentrierten Wein.

One can’t say enough about the amazing job that Alain Vauthier and his daughter have done at this historic property on the decomposed limestone slopes of St.-Emilion. Not surprisingly, the 2012 Ausone is one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage. Inky purple in color, with notes of crushed rocks, spring flowers and blueberry and black raspberry, the wine grows on the palate, offering up amazing concentration. There is no heaviness or cloying characteristics. Pure, rich, full-bodied and, although accessible, it is capable of lasting 30 or more years. This will be one of the profound 2012s, following what Haut Brion and Mission Haut Brion did in Pessac-Léognan. Drink it 2022-2050+.Vinous
One of the wines of the vintage, the 2012 Ausone boasts gorgeous depth, aromatic intensity and overall balance. Dark red stone fruits, menthol, licorice, smoke and savory herbs flesh out as this layered, seductive Saint-Emilion shows off its pure pedigree and class. Further time in bottle should allow the 2012 to flesh out even more, but it is pretty special today. I remember tasting the 2012 straight from barrel with Alain Vauthier in the spring of 2013. The bottled, finished wine is every bit as special. The blend is 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot. - AG 07/2015Suckling
Wild aromas of mint, spearmint, cool chalk and dark fruits. Full-bodied, tight, linear and incredibly long with a evening-stone, blueberry, cherry and mineral undertone. Crisp and extremely persistent. Iodine and oyster shell here to round it all off.
