Flower and berry character, with hints of clove and black pepper. Full-bodied and very rich, with decadent flavors. Oozes with ripe fruit. Goes on and on. Fabulous.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. ?JS

1995 will be remembered as an historic vintage for Ausone. It is the first year where, after more than a decade of infighting among the owners, Alain Vauthier emerged as the sole proprietor, and thus had complete control of the wine's viticulture, vinification, and up-bringing. Ausone's extraordinary minerality is present in the 1995, yet there are more aromatics, a richer, more multidimensional palate impression, and a fuller texture - all with the terroir brilliantly expressed. The wine boasts a dense ruby/purple color, and an emerging but tightly-knit nose of spring flowers, minerals, earth, and black fruits. Rich, with an opulent texture, and surprising sexiness for a young vintage of Ausone, the medium-bodied 1995 displays exquisite balance between its acid, tannin, alcohol, and fruit. Although it is not yet seamless, all the elements are present for an extraordinary evolution in the bottle. Given its backward style, this wine will require 5-7 years of cellaring, and will age at a glacial pace for 30-40 years. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2045.

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.
