Chateau Ausone 2004

Chateau Ausone is a distinguished Saint-Emilion wine shaped primarily by Cabernet Franc with Merlot from a compact limestone vineyard. The estate's grand vin combines a powerful mineral profile with pure fruit, finesse, freshness, and remarkable balance, creating an elegant expression designed to develop gracefully with extended aging.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, braised veal, or truffle dishes.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A deep blue/purple color is accompanied by a striking perfume of flowers, crushed rocks, blueberries and blackberries. Medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary purity, a layered texture and a long finish, the wine displays impressive concentration, elegance and balance.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Intense aromas of blackberry, mineral and fresh flowers lead to a full-bodied palate with fine tannins and a long finish. The wine is refined and balanced, showing impressive fruit purity and structure.
