Named after an early owner, the Roman poet Ausonius, and with records of vines on the current site dating back to 1592, Château Ausone is steeped in history and is rightly regarded not only as one of the finest estates in St. Emilion, but in all Bordeaux. For 11 generations now, since 1690, the Vauthier family has owned and presided over this property. Today it is owned and run by Alain Vauthier alongside his daughter Pauline, a qualified oenologist. A tiny holding of 7 hectares of vines across small terraces on perfect east, south-east exposure are planted to low yielding vines averaging 50 years of age with a production of roughly 1,500 cases per year. The Vauthiers now plant to 12,500 vines per hactare, double some of their neighbours. The vineyard is planted 65% to Merlot and 35% to Cabernet Franc but the grand vin usually has equal amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine shows incredible depth, power, tremendous freshness and elegance.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
