2025 Saint-Emilion (kist à 1 fles)

Proefnotitie

A blend of 65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Ausone unwinds in the glass with notes of sweet raspberries and mulberries mingled with notions of mint, rose petals and blood orange. Medium- to full-bodied, lively and perfumed, with lovely energy, exquisitely refined tannins and a bright, precise finish, it shows extraordinary potential. Some discreet changes are underway at this address, with picking (between September 2 and 23) broken up plot by plot to a greater degree; a review of the estate's cooperage choices in pursuit of better integration; and, at least this year, no second wine for the first time since 1994—given the quality of Ausone's terroir and vine material, that seems entirely reasonable. The result is one of the most refined, classy Ausone vintages in recent years, and it will be exciting to follow these evolutions over the years to come. (The Wine Advocate, William Kelley).

Wijn-spijs advies

Houd de wijn en spijs bij deze gerijpte Bordeaux betrekkelijk eenvoudig. Past goed bij gerechten met veel structuur, bijvoorbeeld bij gebraden rood vlees, zoals lam of wild met klassieke sauzen, groenten en aardappelen uit de oven. Ook heerlijk bij harde kazen met lange rijping.
