The 1951 growing season delivered more variable conditions across Bordeaux, resulting in wines that tend to show lighter concentration and a more delicate, classical profile. At Ausone, the limestone plateau terroir still provided structure and aromatic finesse, allowing the wine to age gracefully over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Ausone is a highly regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion region of northeastern Bordeaux. Its red wines are viewed many as some of the greatest of the appellation (and of the wider region as a whole). Although it was once one of the prestigious few Saint-Émilion producers with Premier Grand Cru Classé A status – and one of only two estates (the other being Château Cheval Blanc) to hold this status since the inception of the classification in 1955 – it, along with Cheval Blanc and others, famously withdrew from the ranking in 2022. Nonetheless, it is still regarded by many as one of the greatest wines of the appellation (and of wider Bordeaux). The wider estate is relatively small compared to other top rated Bordeaux châteaux, and its seven-hectare (17-acre) vineyard is planted almost entirely to Cabernet Franc and Merlot. A small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon appears in its second wine, Chapelle d'Ausone. The estate is named for the Fourth Century Roman poet Decimius Magnus Ausonius, who owned extensive property in Bordeaux, including some vineyards. However, the modern château and estate, which sit on a highly coveted spot just south of Saint-Émilion town on the edge of the Saint-Émilion plateau, date back to the 18th Century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49592053530762,"sku":null,"price":3565.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/15_698c2d49-c67a-4d67-bab8-1ac25a28b6b3.jpg?v=1782345496","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-at\/products\/1951-chateau-ausone-saint-emilion","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
