Château Ausone

What makes Château Ausone unique among the great growths of Bordeaux?

Château Ausone is one of the most prestigious wine estates in Bordeaux and one of the few classified as "Premier Grand Cru Classé A" in Saint-Émilion. This historic estate, founded in Roman times, is distinguished by its limited production and the location of its vineyards, situated on steep limestone slopes that give the wines exceptional minerality and freshness. The dominant grape varieties are Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which give Ausone wines great longevity and legendary finesse.

Why is Château Ausone attractive to investors?

Château Ausone wines are prized for their rarity and exceptional ageing potential, making them a prime investment in the grand cru sector. Thanks to limited production and worldwide demand, bottles of Ausone appreciate considerably over time. In addition, its status as a 'Premier Grand Cru Classé A' ensures constant monitoring of quality, enhancing the reputation and value of each vintage.

How are Château Ausone wines vinified and matured?

The winemaking process at Château Ausone is rigorously controlled, combining traditional techniques with innovation to produce exceptional wines. The grapes are harvested by hand to guarantee quality, then carefully vinified in temperature-controlled concrete vats. The wine is matured in new French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months, giving the wines complexity, silky texture and rich, balanced aromas.
