Wines by Château Ausone

Château Ausone

Let’s say the wines of the majestic estate are easily recognizable when you circle your fingers around the bottom of the bottle… “Ausone” is indeed embossed on the neck of the bottle. Joking aside, both the Grand Vin and the Chapelle d’Ausone impress with unmistakable elegance, finesse, and density. It’s no coincidence that Ausone, alongside Cheval Blanc, Pavie, and Angélus, is one of the four estates in St. Émilion with the highest Premier Grand Cru Classé A classification. 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot are biodynamically cultivated on 40 hectares of vineyards. Since 2002, Michel Rolland has provided consulting. The estate is located in a beautiful position on one of the limestone slopes, with the vineyards practically surrounded by rock walls. By the way, the name of the estate is derived from Ausonius. The high-ranking Gallo-Roman official, born in Bordeaux around 310, was also a tutor to princes and a poet. He is believed to have owned a vineyard, likely where Château Ausone stands today.
