| Over het wijnhuis | Château Ausone is één van de tophuizen van Saint-Émilion en heeft een bijna mythische status. De wijngaarden liggen op de zuidelijke helling van het kalkstenen plateau dat Saint-Émilion kenmerkt. De naam van het landgoed zou zijn afgeleid van de 4e eeuwse Romeinse dichter Ausonius. |

| Awards | "The 2022 Ausone opens in the glass with a brooding bouquet of raspberry preserve, licorice, rose petals and creamy new oak. Full-bodied, deep and dense, it's layered and textural, with a sweet core of fruit framed by powdery, youthfully grippy tannins, concluding with a discreetly heady finish. It's a serious, structured Ausone that will require a bit of patience." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Wow. This is such a big and beautiful Ausone with huge depth that slowly uncoils. Really powerful, mineral and naturally concentrated, with iron, chalk and a rich, almost opulent core of black fruit, but really fresh, with chiseled tapenade and wood spices that only tiptoe on the nose. Superb intensity hidden beneath the palate, with a matrix of chalky tannins that vibrate, shine and extend. Nothing stops it at the finish, which lasts well over a minute. Almost beguilingly drinkable considering the tannin quality, which is so fine and energetic, but I'd give it at least 3-4 years to let the wood spices integrate more and let the wine grow with more complexity. A bigger Ausone with higher alcohol, but fantastic and rather outrageous. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot. This will age well for at least two decades." - James Suckling 50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot. Cask sample. Unusually aromatic at this early stage. Complex floral and red- and dark-fruit notes. Uncompromisingly dense with plentiful but fine tannins. Smooth texture. No hard edges but firm and persistent. Plenty of potential. (JL) "The 2022 Ausone, which was the earliest-picked ever on September 5 (although that is later than Cheval Blanc) has another very intense bouquet with layers of plush blackberry, blueberry, crushed violet and incense aromas that are beautifully entwined with the 100% new oak. Hints of blood orange emerge with a few minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and perfectly pitched acidity. The slightly higher proportion of Cabernet Franc imparts a touch more pepperiness toward the finish. You can feel this on your tongue long after it has departed. There is a surfeit of freshness on the finish. This is an outstanding Ausone that can look forward to a very long future." - Vinous "Intense black chocolate, blackcurrants, and kirsch-like richness. Exotic, gripping, and juicy - less dense than expected but crystalline and pure. Poised yet powerful, muscular yet refined. Salty, spicy tannins melt into a lingering, fruit-filled finish. A clear step up from Chapelle, with an extra layer of finesse. Signature Ausone with remarkable depth and balance despite over 15% alcohol. 3.57pH." - Decanter |
