Description
Chateau Ausone, Saint-Emilion MAGNUM
This Bordeaux Blue Chip will bolster any serious collector’s collection, especially in magnum format. With nearly 20 years of beauty sleep, this bottling is poised for immediate enjoyment with a 60-minute decant or cellar it away for another decade.
Along with Château Cheval-Blanc, Ausone is at the pinnacle of St-Émilion’s quality hierarchy and is regularly included with the Left Bank’s five “First Growths” in most experts’ rankings of the very best wines in all of Bordeaux. Further, with just seven hectares of vines on the limestone plateau of St-Émilion, Ausone is considerably smaller than most of the Bordeaux élite—a jewel-box property of similar scale to the boutique Le Pin in neighboring Pomerol.
