What a find for the wine connoisseur. The 3-pack of 2012 Chateau Ausone is an elegant, highly praised Saint-Emilion grand vin that balances impressive concentration with a weightless, mineral-driven purity.
Tasting Profile & Characteristics
Blend: Typically around 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot
Palate: Sleek and polished rather than overly muscular, offering flavors of blueberry, black raspberry, cassis and subtle cedar with a signature saline, iodine, and oyster shell freshness.
Aromas: Mint, cool chalk, crushed rocks, spring flowers, deep blue/black fruits.
Drinking Window: Approachable now as it enters its prime drinking window, yet structured enough to continue evolving gracefully in the cellar for decades.
