Château Ausone 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
98-100. Very concentrated and wonderfully perfumed wine. It has great balance and acidity, intense freshness. The superb fragrance of the Cabernet Franc has made a gorgeous wine, black fruited and likely to age for decades.

Château Ausone 2000 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $600
Forget all those garage wines, forget the upstarts of Saint-Emilion. When you want real class, you have to turn to Ausone. What a wine - magnificently dense and opaque, hugely rich and sensual. Yet it doesn’t seem in the least decadent - for deep inside the wine is a huge backbone of ripe tannins. Keep for at least 10 years

Château Ausone 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
96-98 Barrel sample. While there is a surprising amount of wood here, the fruit gives a great ripe swathe of blackberry and red plum flavors. The wood spice goes with an impressive weight of fruit, shining through a lovely, perfumed aftertaste.

Château Ausone 2006 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
Strength and elegance go together in this wine. It has a pure line of clear berry fruits that float above the tannic core. It is not so much rich as dense, the tannins a vivid counterpoint to the fruit. The wine finishes with fine, elegant sweetness, but it is the purity of line that stays in the memory. Age for 10 years at least.

Wonderfully perfumed wine that exudes class. It has weight and extraction, its tannins lending themselves to the ripe texture. The wine is concentrated, dense in texture and for aging.

95-97 Barrel Sample A hugely dense wine, all power and dark tannins. Very concentrated, this is dark, a firm, solid structure covering the huge black plum fruit flavors. It’s all about power.
