2021 Château Ausone Magnum

Château Ausone is one of Bordeaux’s most coveted names, and in magnum format the 2021 vintage offers even greater presence, balance, and cellar appeal. From one of Saint-Émilion’s most legendary estates, this wine combines rarity, heritage, and precision in a way that makes it a benchmark for collectors of fine French wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 Château Ausone shows a deep, refined color that hints at its concentration rather than brute power. The nose is typically layered and expressive, with dark berries, plum, violets, graphite, spice, and a subtle mineral edge that reflects the limestone-rich site. On the palate, the wine is poised and detailed, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and impressive depth that unfolds gradually. The magnum format supports slower development and excellent aging potential, making this a wine that can reward extended cellaring for many years.

Production
Château Ausone is rooted in one of Saint-Émilion’s most distinctive terroirs, where limestone and clay soils contribute freshness, structure, and unmistakable mineral character. The estate’s hillside vineyards benefit from an exceptional exposure and naturally low yields, helping to produce wines of precision and longevity. Harvesting is typically carried out by hand with careful selection, and vinification is done with an emphasis on preserving purity, structure, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined dishes such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle risotto, or game birds with earthy sauces. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting in advance, especially if opened young, to allow the wine’s aromatics and texture to fully open.

Producer
Château Ausone is one of the historic jewels of Saint-Émilion and has long been regarded as one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious estates. Named after the Roman poet Ausonius, the property is celebrated for its enduring reputation, distinctive terroir, and consistent production of highly sought-after wines. Its acclaim has made it a reference point for collectors and a symbol of top-tier Right Bank Bordeaux.
