Description

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion

In the 19th century, the Château began to rise in the Saint-Émilion classification, surpassing its competitors in the region. Then followed inheritance disputes that escalated into outright family feuds. As money was invested in lawyers rather than vineyards, quality continued to suffer. It was not until the 1990s that the dispute was settled and the Château was awarded to Alain Vaulthier. He has increased the quality of Ausone year after year by knowing how to utilize the fabulous terroir of the small winery. Today, the rare Grand Cru consistently ranks among the best wines of Bordeaux in every vintage.

Château Ausone

The history of Château Ausone reaches back to ancient Rome, when the estate was known as ‘Villa d’Alsune’. It has had a long winemaking tradition since the Middle Ages, but only in the 18th century did it become known as Château Ausone and soon gain a reputation for its exceptional wines.

In the 19th century, the château began to rise in the Saint-Émilion classification and surpassed its competitors in the region. Château Ausone is one of only four Premier Grand Cru Classé ‘A’ estates and belongs to the elite of Saint-Émilion.

Today, Château Ausone is owned by the Vauthier family and managed by Alain Vauthier, who has led the estate to new heights over recent decades. Under his direction, Château Ausone has produced a remarkable series of top wines known for their complexity, elegance and longevity.

The second wine, Chapelle d’Ausone from Château Ausone, is also a masterpiece in its own right. It is vinified in the same way as its great sibling. During blending, particular attention is paid to bringing out fruity notes with plenty of freshness, as it is intended primarily for enjoyment.
