Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2015

100
/100

En 7 hektar stor vinmark på ren kalksten i udkanten af St. Det bedste terroir og ofte benchmark for St. Emilion. Op til 12.500 vinstokke tæt plantet pr. hektar, 30 hl/ha udbytte, 85 % lagret i nyt træ, 50 % Cabernet Franc og 50 % Merlot. I modsætning til Cheval Blanc er næsen ikke kun præget af Cabernet Franc, Merlot spiller også en klar rolle. En masse søde sorte kirsebær, efterfulgt af sure kirsebær, endda lidt solbær, fint, meget sammenvævet, utroligt harmonisk, meget elegant, tilgængelig, næsen er en fornøjelse. En vidunderlig, stor, harmonisk Ausone. Alt passer i munden, sammensætningen, harmonien, alt er fint, giver glæde, og alligevel er der uforklarligt et hul til de virkelig store vine i denne årgang. Denne Ausone er ekstremt harmonisk, men for mig ikke så stor som Cheval og Angelus. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

A mindbinder of a wine with pure fruit and so much fine tannins and mineral character. It’s hyper tight and super polished. The palate starts off slowly and ends with a bang. Amazing endless finish. What an energy. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

An utterly perfect wine from Alain Vauthier, the 2015 Château Ausone offers off the hook notes of crème de cassis, black raspberries, toasted spice and dried flowers, with more floral and mineral characteristics developing with time in the glass. Amazingly deep, full-bodied, pure and ethereally textured, with building density and tannin, it’s one of those wines that need to be tasted to be believed. Unfortunately, the production is minuscule (and expensive). A wine that will make your heart rate jump, give it 4-5 years of cellaring and I suspect it will keep for as long as you’d like to hang on to bottles. It’s a tour de force in wine and the wine of the vintage in 2015. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Composed of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot aged in French oak barrels, 85% new, for 20 months, the 2015 Ausone features a deep garnet-purple color and comes bounding out of the glass with expressive plum preserves, wild blueberries and cherry pie aromas plus fragrant nuances of roses, licorice, Indian spices, baker’s chocolate, new leather and cedar chest plus a touch of underbrush. Big, rich, opulent and full-bodied in the mouth, it is laden with bold blue and black fruits, superbly supported by very firm, very finely grained tannins and wonderfully seamless freshness, finishing with long-lingering exotic spice hints. 99/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Vibrant medium intensity cherry red, the limestone fingerprint clear even visually in that it is more jewel-like than most in the vintage. A masterclass in what slate scrape and pumice stone means when talking about texture in a wine, set against a caress of black cherry, raspberry, white tea, pomegranate, gunsmoke, leather, exceptional with a juicy finish, truly outstanding - and this is a higher score than I gave it back in 2022 in a vertical at the estate. 85% new oak for ageing.

Galloni om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2015 Ausone is the embodiment of class. A seamless, mind-blowing wine, the Ausone boasts extraordinary purity and finesse. The flavors are deep and unctuous throughout, and yet the wine is remarkably vivid. A host of sweet floral notes and exotic spices are fused into the eternal finish. In 2015, Ausone is as good as it gets. Readers who can find the 2015 should not hesitate, as it is truly magnificent. All I can tell readers is that it took the most extraordinary discipline to spit this wine during my tasting. It is every bit that profound. The 2015 is 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot that will spend 20 months in French oak, 85% new. The Merlot was brought in between September 29 and October 2, while the Franc came in between October 8 and 10. 97-100/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Barrel Sample. With only 21,000 bottles for the world, this will always be a rare wine, yet its quality is not in doubt. Beautifully structured and with tannins that are sweet, generous, as well as firm, it is packed with the ripest blackberry fruits. It is a complex wine, dark and with great potential. 97-99/100

Château Ausone

Ausone er et lille og næsten spektakulært klassisk udseende slot højt oppe på en af skråningerne uden for de middelalderlige bymure i Saint Emilion. På trods af den grandiose beliggenhed og det faktum, at det havde en af de bedste vinmarker i Bordeaux, producerede det ret uinteressante vine i...
