Information on the vintageRed Bordeaux :55 The second of the renowed twin vintages. Whereas the 1899s had finesse and delicacy, the sort of feminine charm later associated with the 1929s and 1953s, the 1900s were more structured - to use a fashionable expression - well balanced and more obviously impressive. But it was also a superabundant vintage following perfect weather conditions and the wines were uniformly excellent.

My notes indicate that the 1900 Ausone had a 90-point nose and 99-point flavors. Most Ausones are big on bouquet but short on flavor. It is unbelievable that a 94-year old wine could have this much richness and flavor. The huge nose of roasted cloves, coffee, and honeyed red fruits is followed by a wine with super-sweetness, big, jammy, alcoholic, ripe flavors, and remarkable length with elevated alcohol. The light color is akin to a rusty-colored white Zinfandel. The extreme sweetness makes me think the fermentation halted and the wine has some residual sugar. This stunning wine remains fresh and lively.

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.
