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
L’antériorité viticole du Château Ausone date de près de quatre siècles, son nom commémorant le poète romain, Decimius Magnus Ausonius, ancien propriétaire de plus de 40 hectares de vignes à Saint-Emilion. Grand producteur de la Rive Droite, Ausone est membre du cercle exclusif - quatre membres au total ! – de propriétés répertoriées Premier Grand Cru Classé A au sein de l’appellation ; les trois autres sont Cheval Blanc, Angélus et Pavie. S’inscrivant dans la lignée directe des premiers propriétaires au 17ème siècle, la famille Dubois-Challon-Vauthier, Alain Vauthier et sa fille Pauline sont aujourd’hui aux commandes. Situé à l’extrémité ouest du village de Saint-Emilion, Ausone regroupe en son sein l’un des terroirs réputé le plus qualitatif de Bordeaux, une parcelle de 7 hectares sur un coteau en forte pente. Entre 1993 et 2013, le célèbre œnologue Michel Rolland a collaboré avec la famille, apportant sa contribuant inestimable à ses techniques de vinification. Ces années fondatrices ont été déterminantes, facilitant l’ascension de ce château déjà imposant, en direction des plus grands producteurs de la planète. Ausone se singularise par son style minéral hors pair, magnifié par la présence importante de calcaire dans ses sols. Ce sont des vins riches, complexes et, de plus en plus, boisés.
