Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classé A Saint-Emilion, 2019

Château Ausone is one of Saint-Émilion’s most revered names, known for producing wines of remarkable precision, depth and longevity. As a Premier Grand Cru Classé A estate, it represents the very top tier of the appellation, with a history that stretches back centuries and a reputation built on scarcity and consistency.

Tasting Notes
The 2019 vintage is expected to show a deep, concentrated colour with an elegant, polished profile. On the nose, Ausone typically offers layered aromas of dark berries, violets, graphite, spice and mineral notes, while the palate is usually dense yet refined, combining ripe black fruit, fresh acidity and finely woven tannins. This is a wine built for patience, with excellent ageing potential. In a strong vintage like 2019, it should evolve beautifully over many years, gaining complexity, silkiness and earthy, tertiary nuances with time in bottle.

Production
Ausone’s vineyards sit on prized limestone and clay slopes in Saint-Émilion, a terroir that brings freshness, structure and pronounced minerality to the wine. Fruit is usually harvested by hand in small lots, with meticulous sorting to preserve only the best grapes, followed by vinification designed to express purity, balance and precision.

Food & Serving
This is a wine to pair with refined, flavourful dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, game birds or truffle-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for a couple of hours if opening young, though extended cellar time will reward the patient collector.

Producer
Château Ausone is one of the legendary estates of Saint-Émilion, named after the Roman poet Ausonius, who is traditionally associated with the property’s ancient heritage. The château has long stood as a benchmark for the appellation and is widely admired for its low production, exceptional terroir and consistently outstanding critical reputation.
