Château Ausone Tinto

Description

This is a truly exceptional wine, born from vines averaging over a century old – a legacy that translates beautifully into a complex bouquet of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Its limited production (under 2000 cases) adds to the allure, and the 20-month aging in oak lends remarkable smoothness and richness, a style that James Suckling and Robert Parker have consistently praised. Seriously, it’s sitting alongside Petrus and Cheval Blanc – quite the company! A glorious pairing with grilled red meats and aged cheeses is highly recommended.
