2007 Ch. Ausone, St Emilion

Ch. Ausone, St Emilion
Proprietor Alain Vauthier has made another virtually perfect wine in 2007. The divinely scented nose is wonderfully complex and expressive, with creamy wild blackberries to the fore. Immensely elegant and vibrant, the dark fruit rolls across the tongue in waves with lovely focused minerality and a straitjacket of acidity from which it will gently ease free as it matures. Made from 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot, from 50 year old vines, this wine is all about intensity and balance. With only 1500 cases made, the possession of this elixir will be a rare privilege indeed.Château Ausone

50% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Really polished wine. Close to Ausone in style and stature. Has the depth and intensity many lack in 2007. Full and fresh with a fine tannic line.

"55% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot. Heady. Rich and heady. A bit angular, not exaggerated but in this damp vintage not as mellifluous as Cheval's gravel-based wine. Some green notes, a little awkward. Not Ausone's finest hour, I feel. A bit chewy and green. We have to take the development on trust really, although I know the wine provoked greater enthusiasm a couple of days before."  (Jancis Robinson - www.jancisrobinson.com - Apr 08)
