Built on a blend dominated by Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it opens with lifted, fragrant aromas of black raspberry, redcurrant jelly and wild dark cherry, layered with sweet oak notes of vanilla, cinnamon and baking spice, and delicate hints of violet and rose petal. The palate is medium to full bodied and sumptuously textured, with a concentrated core of cherry pie, ripe blueberry and dark plum, set against a savoury counterpoint of unsmoked cigar, tobacco and sandalwood. The finish is exceptionally persistent, vibrant, perfumed and subtly mineral, a wine of rare elegance and plush texture that carries the unmistakable DNA of its illustrious parent estate.\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"18054860081417066378\"\u003eMore About The Winery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"587\" data-start=\"243\"\u003eNamed after the Roman poet \u003cstrong data-end=\"282\" data-start=\"270\"\u003eAusonius\u003c\/strong\u003e, who once owned vineyards around Saint-Émilion, \u003cstrong data-end=\"349\" data-start=\"331\"\u003eChâteau Ausone\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of Bordeaux’s most iconic estates.
