Rezensionen & Bewertungen
100 Robert Parker
The 2003 Ausone is off the charts in terms of richness. While I gave a 3-digit score to the 2000, I think this profoundly concentrated wine may be even more sublime and exotic. Its inky/blue/purple color is followed by an extraordinary perfume of flowers, crushed rocks, sweet raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and God knows what else. The impression is one of extraordinary richness and purity, and a multilayered texture yet a surreal lightness as well as laser-like precision. This exquisite offering must be tasted to be believed. Incredibly young, it will undoubtedly close down over the next few years, re-emerging after 15-20 years. It should last for 70-100 years. It is a wine for anthology!

Loads of blackberry, plum and strawberry. Intense fruit. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and layers of everything. Wonderful balance and refinement. Closed up already. Very serious wine. Best after 2012. 1,375 cases made. -JS

Château Ausone
Das Château Ausone produziert seit nunmehr fast vier Jahrhunderten Weine im Namen des römischen Dichters Decimius Magnus Ausonius, der einst über 40 Hektar Weinberge in Saint-Émilion besaß. Dieses große Weingut am rechten Ufer ist eines von vieren, neben Cheval Blanc, Angélus und Pavie, die als Premier Grand Cru Classé vom Rang A in der Appellation eingestuft sind. Heute, in direkter Abstammung von der Familie Dubois-Challon-Vauthier, die schon im 17. Jahrhundert hier lebte, steht das Anwesen im Eigentum und unter der Leitung von Alain Vauthier und seiner Tochter Pauline. Ausone, das direkt an das Städtchen Saint-Émilion grenzt, soll das beste Terroir im Bordelais besitzen, eine 7 Hektar große Parzelle in steiler Hanglage. Von 1993 bis 2013 ging der berühmte Önologe Michel Rolland mit wertvollem Rat bei der Weinherstellung zur Hand. Diese wichtigen Jahre hatten großen Anteil am Aufstieg dieses bereits vorher beeindruckenden Châteaus in die oberste Riege von Weinerzeugern weltweit. Ausone hat sich durch seinen unnachahmlichen mineralischen Stil einen Namen gemacht, den es massiven Kalksteinablagerungen im Boden verdankt. Die Weine sind durchgehend reich, komplex und zusehends mit Eiche getönt.
