Robert Parker
CHATEAU AUSONE, 2001
SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU
"The 2001 Ausone has gained even more body than I had anticipated. The 'wine of the vintage', this 2001 with its inky/purple color flaunts a provocative floral scent of crushed stones, raspberries, blackberries, crème de cassis, licorice, and smoke. What makes it so sensational are the layers of flavors and nuances that unfold as the wine rests in the glass, as well as in the mouth. This is an extraordinarily intense effort, yet remarkably elegant and well-balanced." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
Château Ausone, located in Saint-Emilion and classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé A, has been owned by the Vauthier family since the late 1990s. The history of the estate is very old, dating back to the 13th century, and only five families have successively managed the estate.
