Makuprofiili
In the glass, Château Ausone 2001 shows a deep ruby hue that hints at its concentration and class. The bouquet is beautifully layered, opening with ripe red berries and violets before unfolding into cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is silky and refined, yet firmly structured, with lively acidity, polished tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish. As it develops, notes of dark chocolate, truffle, and licorice emerge, adding complexity and dimension. The wine already offers impressive harmony, but its strong structure and freshness suggest excellent aging potential, with the capacity to evolve gracefully for many years to come.

Viininvalmistus
Château Ausone is located on the limestone slopes of Saint-Émilion, where the terroir contributes significant mineral tension, freshness, and precision to the wine. The estate’s vineyards are carefully tended and harvested with a focus on selecting only the best fruit at optimal ripeness, allowing the blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot to fully express the character of the site. Vinification is carried out with meticulous attention to detail to preserve elegance, structure, and aromatic complexity.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as rack of lamb, game, and truffle-based specialties, where its depth and freshness can complement rich, savoury flavours. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant before drinking to help the wine open up and reveal its full aromatic range. Given its age and stature, a gentle decant is recommended to enhance enjoyment without losing its nuance.
