Nur einmal im Jahr 1992 verkostet. Aber das reichte mir dann auch schon vollkommen, um zu wissen, dass hier nur ein eher mässiger Premier Grand Cru entstanden war. Sehr helle Farbe mit ziegelrotem Schimmer. Irish Moos; würzig und fein. Helle Pfifferlinge, eleganter Körperbau. Hat trotz seiner Leichtigkeit noch zusätzliches Potential. Dürfte heute am Ende seiner Genussphase sein, wenn man das Wort Genuss überhaupt für deren Definition verwenden darf. austrinken
Producer
Château Ausone
Château Ausone has produced wine for close to four centuries in commemoration of the Roman poet, Decimius Magnus Ausonius, who once owned over 40-hectares of vines in Saint-Émilion. A great Right Bank producer, Ausone is one of the only four estates, along with Cheval Blanc, Angélus, and Pavie to be classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé A-grade property in the appellation. Today, following in direct lineage of 17th century owners the Dubois-Challon-Vauthier family, Alain Vauthier and his daughter Pauline own and manage the estate. Located just outside of the Saint-Émilion village, Ausone owns what is rumored to be the best terroir in Bordeaux, a steep 7-hectare plot perched on a hillside. From 1993 to 2013, famed enologist Michel Rolland worked with the family offering invaluable input on the winemaking approach. These important founding years helped even more to propel this already impressive château to the top ranking producers from around the globe. Ausone is known by its inimitable mineralistic style which is culminated by the massive limestone deposits in the soil. The wines are overall rich, complex, and increasingly oaked.
