Jean-Marc Quarin June - 2001
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red color. Medium intensity. Evolved. Nose of medium intensity. Still a note of new wood. Touch of mushroom. Quite fresh. When swirled, more open and above all more fruity, fresher, younger than Angélus. Soft and nuanced attack, developing on a caressing structure, which quickly becomes round in the mid-palate and distinguishes itself from Angélus by evolving very slowly. The tannins are completely melted, flavorful and the wine leaves a beautiful concentrated taste after the mid-palate until the finish. But a mushroom note returns. Refined aspect. I take this opportunity to say that I often find this note in wines that are aged in the old quarries of Saint-Emilion. After the extraction of the stone, they were often used as mushroom farms.

Firm and vivid, offering clear cherry, tobacco and cedar flavors backed by firm, round tannins; it blooms on the finish.

Château Ausone

Château Ausone produces grand cru Bordeaux wines with the Saint Emilion appellation in the south of France. This estate is one of the 4 châteaux to benefit from the classification of Premier Grand Cru Classé A along with Châteaux Angelus, Cheval Blanc and Pavie.

The 7-hectare vineyard is located on the slopes of Saint-Emilion. Built on the site of the villa of the Latin poet Ausonius, the estate benefits from a south-facing exposure, terraced vineyards, and a balanced and very old grape variety composition. The cellar, carved into the rock, is extraordinary. It has undergone extensive work to reinforce the solidity of the structure. As for the wines, known to take time to assert themselves, they are dense, intense, and have an aromatic complexity that allows Ausone to rank among the very top estates in Bordeaux. The main grape varieties are Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with a majority of 55% Cabernet Franc.

Among the greatest vintages of Château Ausone, the 1982 and 1983 vintages are excellent. The 1995 vintage, 1998 grand cru wine and the 2008 wines are exceptional. Finally, the 2000 grand crus classés and the 2005 vintage are considered extraordinary vintages, with the grand crus even receiving a score of 100/100 from Robert Parker.
