The precision and balance of a Saint-Émilion wine

The estate

Founded on a heritage dating back to Roman times, Château Ausone, located in Saint-Émilion, is a jewel among the great wines of Bordeaux. Since the 13th century, only three families have owned this estate, currently run by the eleventh generation of the Vauthier family. Its very name evokes the Roman poet Ausone who, according to legend, owned a villa on these lands.

The vineyard

Produced since 1995, this Saint-Émilion wine comes from young vines with an average age of 15 years, located on the upper sections of the argilo-calcareous slopes with astéries.

Vinification and aging

After a meticulous hand harvest and rigorous sorting, the grapes are vinified plot by plot in small wooden vats. The aging takes place in new French oak barrels for 20 months.

Blend

85% cabernet franc and 15% cabernet sauvignon.
