Description

Discover the pinnacle of Bordeaux elegance with Chateau Ausone 2017, crafted at Alain Vauthier's flagship estate where steep limestone slopes cradle vines over 50 years old. This rare gem, limited to around 23,000 bottles, emerges from a precise blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot, capturing the essence of one of the region's most revered terroirs.

From the moment it graces your glass, Chateau Ausone 2017 reveals a deep garnet-purple hue that promises depth. Its aromas unfold with captivating layers—think baked plums in shades of red and black, wild blueberries bursting alongside boysenberries, accented by delicate violets, hints of espresso, licorice, and melted chocolate. Subtle earthiness from iron ore and freshly tilled soil lingers in the background, drawing you deeper into its world.

On the palate, this Bordeaux red wine strikes a perfect balance of medium body and refined poise. Silken tannins, beautifully ripe, intertwine with vibrant freshness, supporting a symphony of fragrant flavors that evolve endlessly. Pure red fruits like griotte and Morello cherry mingle with raspberry and tayberry, touched by Asian spice and whispers of garrigue or blackberry cream. Effortless power ripples through, framed by salinity and mouthwatering acidity that propel a multidimensional finish, mineral-driven and exceptionally long.

Earning a resounding 98 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine embodies composure and class, constantly revealing new nuances as it grows in the glass. Hailing from France's Bordeaux region, with 13.50% ABV in a classic 750 ml bottle, its dry profile (sweetness level 01) suits those seeking intellectual complexity in every sip. Whether for a special cellar addition or a memorable evening, Chateau Ausone 2017 delivers authority wrapped in haunting fruit and ethereal grace—secure yours before this limited release vanishes.
