"extraordinarily complex, nuanced, and layered." 96 points - Robert Parker

Chateau Ausone 2007 is a premier Grand Cru Classe "A" red wine from Bordeaux, France. It has a deep, intense color and a complex bouquet of black fruit, leather, and spice. The palate is full-bodied and elegant, with flavors of black currant, raspberry, and hints of tobacco and earthy notes. The tannins are fine and well-structured, and the wine has a long and persistent finish. This wine will pair perfectly with a variety of meats, including beef, lamb, and game.
 

Chateau Ausone is a prestigious winery located in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, France. The winery has a rich history, dating back to the 4th century when it was owned by the Roman poet Ausonius. The estate is situated on a limestone plateau and spans approximately 7 hectares, with vineyards planted to Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The winery is known for its meticulous vineyard management, including hand-harvesting and low yields, and for its traditional winemaking techniques, such as fermentation in oak barrels and aging in new French oak. The result is wines of exceptional quality and complexity, with great aging potential.
