Avis d'expert

88 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(1-2003).
Considerable amber is creeping in at the edge of this wine, which shows notes of cinnamon, earth, red fruits, dried herbs, and mushroomy, forest floor notes. The wine is medium-bodied, still somewhat tannic, and very complex aromatically. The wine is not showing signs of drying out, but this is hardly a hedonistic style wine for those looking for more fruit-driven efforts. .

Michael Broadbent

(4-1995).
Idiosyncratic and contradictory as usual. In 1984: certainly an intriguing bouquet and taste, 'singed', its richness tussling with its rawness. Most recently, my favourite 'dried leaves' simile --nose and taste. Quite good length. .

Jean-Marc Quarin

(10-2008).
Color very advanced pulling brown. Nose, fruity, ripe. Wine nervous attack, and then stroking the middle is undone, and finally ends austere. A green button in the final aroma confirms that the grapes were not mature enough.

Château informations

Ausone

As Angelus, Cheval Blanc and Pavie, Ausone is ranked as Premier Grand Cru Classé A in Saint Emilion. Ausone is a tiny area of 7 acres located on the slopes of St. Emilion. Situated on the location of the villa of the Latin poet Ausonius, the area enjoys a southern exposure, terraced vineyards and very old grape varieties. The cellar, dug into the rock, is extraordinary. The wine, long known to be assertive, they are dense, intense with complex aromas that allow Ausone to rank amongst the best Bordeaux estates. The grape varieties are merlot, cabernet franc with a majority of cabernet franc (55%).
