Description

Chateau Ausone 2009
St. Emilion
Bottle (6)


"A masterpiece in the making, proprietor Alain Vauthier’s 2009 Ausone boasts a dense purple color along with notes of powdered chalk, crushed rocks and wild blue, red and black fruits. Extravagantly rich with great minerality, precision and freshness as well as a voluptuous texture ... this is an extraordinary wine." (98+ pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2012)

“The 2009 Ausone has a sumptuous bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry, rose petal and orange blossom aromas. The wine is beautifully defined and blossoms with aeration, becoming very licorice- and menthol-inflected after 10 minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is not a powerful 2009 and instead feels sleek and tensile. Pure red fruit lingers in the mouth with a very deft, almost understated finish. So elegant, so Ausone.” (97 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2019)
