An exceptional Saint-Emilion Grand Cru! Red fruits, notes of mocha, nice grain and great finesse in the mouth which remains fresh and light. It will go well with fairly "tender" but tasty dishes, roast veal with ceps for example, poultry (goose, guinea fowl, duck, etc.) in brown sauces

This magnificent vintage of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, named "La Dame de Onze Heures" comes from the name of a small lily of the valley whose flower opens only at eleven o'clock every day... at eleven o'clock. This small plot is maintained like a garden, cultivated organically, without weedkillers or chemicals, which this lady would not appreciate! The use of companion plants, the return to a fauna/flora balance, the end of fertilizers and weed killers, the restitution of marc, etc... bring back a forgotten harmony in these vines.

Vinified in specially designed vats, without exogenous yeasts, the wine is then aged in 50% new barrels for 18 months. Only six thousand bottles have been put on sale... so you'll have to hurry to enjoy the benefits of this lady.

A treat, to be decanted.

The Estate Ausone

"Depuis plus de vingt ans, par son harmonie de constitution et le raffinement de sa texture, Ausone figure parmi les meilleurs vins de Bordeaux. Sa longévité en
bouteille est extraordinaire. Des millésimes comme 2017, 2014 et 2013 sont de très haut niveau dans un registre de grande profondeur, fine et intense.

Dans ces millésimes, La-Chapelle-d'Ausone brille également par son éclat et sa pureté, et son coût est quatre à cinq fois moindre. 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 entreront dans la légende du cru.

Tout ceci s'explique grâce aux vignes situées sur un tertre calcaire comprenant pour une petite partie un plateau à la couche de sol peu épaisse, et pour la majorité de leur surface la pente adjacente, exposée plein sud avec un sol beaucoup plus profond.

Cette dualité est un atout essentiel qu'a su magnifier le propriétaire actuel, Alain Vauthier, et aujourd'hui sa fille Pauline." 5*/5 Bettane+Desseauve
