1er Grand Cru Classé

2011 Chateau Ausone, Saint-Emilion, France

This intense, long-lasting, and complex wine is perfect for special occasions or fine dining. It has complex aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, and espresso., Saint-Emilion, France.

Chateau Ausone is the jewel of the estate, a masterpiece of subtle elegance. Like a cathedral, it initially presents a big, powerful, mineral profile of Cabernet Franc.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating: 95+). Its bigger sibling, the 2011 Ausone increases the level of intensity, elegance, complexity, richness and length. Nearly a mirror image of the La Chapelle, just with more going on, the Ausone boasts a more saturated purple color, and the wine has everything in large, intense proportions. The finesse and delicacy of all its components are what make it such a remarkable wine. The quality of the tannins and purity of the fruit make this another legendary effort that should age for 30-40 years. Reviewed by: Neal Martin, Issue date: April 2014. Drinking window: 2014 - 2054.

Vinous

The 2011 Ausone is ripe and perfumed, quite floral in style, touches of cassis and violet coming through with time. It is just missing a little charm compared to its peers. The palate is plush and rounded in the mouth, quite a sensual wine with piquant red fruit, white pepper and clove, although the finish is just missing a little complexity and personality at the moment. A fine Ausone, though I would be inclined to drink this over the next decade. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting. Reviewed by: Neal Martin, Issue date: September 2021. Drinking window: 2022 - 2033.
