Château Ausone

Saint-Émilion limestone terroir expressed through Cabernet-led Bordeaux blends.

Château Ausone sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the hillside heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The vineyard commands the limestone plateau above the medieval town, where cool nights and well-drained soils shape wines of mineral precision. Chapelle d'Ausone, the flagship, blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc into a structured expression of the appellation's character—dense earth, dark fruit, and the chalky grip that defines Saint-Émilion's finest. The wine has drawn consistent assessment from major critics including Falstaff, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Ausone's position on the plateau, distinct from the clay-rich valley floor, yields wines marked by freshness and aging potential rather than immediate richness.
