[Pre-Sale] Chteau Ausone 1999|Arriving at the end of January 2026

Blend: 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet FrancDrinking Window: 2010-2035 95 Points – Robert ParkerIs the 1999 Ausone the wine of the vintage? Dense purple color, a compelling bouquet of licorice, minerals, black and blueberry liqueur, extraordinary delineation, high tannin, superb extract, and phenomenal richness all are the stuff of a legend. This wine seems impossible to have emerged from a vintage like 1999. Proprietor Alain Vauthier produced only 20,000 bottles because he eliminated one-fourth of the tiny crop. The result is out-and-out fabulous, but the wine needs 12-15 years of cellaring.”
