Château Ausone is a highly regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion region of northeastern Bordeaux. Its red wines are viewed many as some of the greatest of the appellation (and of the wider region as a whole).
Although it was once one of the prestigious few Saint-Émilion producers with Premier Grand Cru Classé A status – and one of only two estates (the other being Château Cheval Blanc) to hold this status since the inception of the classification in 1955 – it, along with Cheval Blanc and others, famously withdrew from the ranking in 2022.
Nonetheless, it is still regarded by many as one of the greatest wines of the appellation (and of wider Bordeaux).

| Rating | RP100 - 2005 Ausone Bordeaux - 100 pts! - OWC 6 pak A tiny production of just over 1300 cases will make the 2005 Ausone impossible to find but proprietor Alain Vauthier continues to exhibit the Midas touch with his perfectionist efforts at this estate. This brilliant blue/black-hued offering reveals an extraordinarily youthful but promising nose of incense blueberries blackberries currants licorice and crushed rocks. This intense 2005 boasts powerful super-layered multidimensional flavors with tremendous extraction yet they come across as incredibly sublime even delicate for such a stunningly concentrated full-bodied effort. A masterpiece of concentration and balance it will no doubt be drinking well a century from now. RP |
