Rezensionen & Bewertungen
100 James Suckling
Like a bouquet of fresh flowers on the nose, as well as blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. Sandalwood as well. Full-bodied with incredibly polished tannins that have the texture of the finest velvet. The palate is very fine, oriented with fabulously pure fruit and minerally and stone undertones at the finish. It’s so classical in nature. Essence of Ausone. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2027.
99 Vinous
The 2019 Ausone was picked September 20-27 for the Merlot and October 3, 5 and 7 for the Cabernet Franc, then matured for 20 months in new French oak with light toasting. This is very refined and focused on the nose, less opulent compared to recent vintages, and very sophisticated, with hints of Montecristo cigar interwoven through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine but quite firm tannins that frame the lightly spiced black fruit. Touches of pencil lead and white pepper appear toward the prolonged finish. This very composed Ausone might actually drink earlier than other vintages but unequivocally has the substance to age with grace in bottle. There is an abiding sense of completeness here.

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.
