More questions
Chateau Ausone from Saint-Emilon presents an elegant, restrained profile. In the glass it shows an intense ruby color with garnet highlights, accompanied by a bouquet that alternates scents of ripe red fruit with more restrained notes of delicate spices and forest floor. The aromatic notes are balanced, without excess, and leave room for hints of sweet tobacco, liquorice and a light minerality that adds depth. The overall impression suggests finesse rather than power. A refined balance is perceptible.
On the palate it maintains a composed structure: polished tannins and an acidity that supports the sip, with returns of cherry and plum accompanied by light earthy nuances. The persistence is pleasant and invites further sips, pairing with roasted meats, lighter game or matured cheeses; it is recommended to serve at a moderate temperature and to decant if you wish to open its more complex profiles. It's a wine for those seeking balance and refinement without excess.

The story
La viticoltura nell'area risale all'epoca romana e si è sviluppata intensamente nel medioevo grazie alla posizione sulla via di pellegrinaggio verso Santiago de Compostela; la giurisdizione e le tradizioni locali, come la Jurade, hanno contribuito a costruire la fama dei vini di Saint-Émilion.

Production philosophy
Valorizzare il legame tra territorio, pratiche tradizionali e qualità enologica: l'identità di Saint-Émilion si fonda sulla ricerca dell'espressione del terroir nei vini rossi e sul mantenimento di standard qualitativi attraverso un sistema di classificazione locale.
Terroir and vineyards
Situata nella Gironda, nella regione Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a est di Bordeaux (Right Bank), l'area combina suoli argillo-calcarei e collinari che favoriscono la coltivazione di Merlot e Cabernet Franc e una forte frammentazione dei cru.
