Château Ausone 2024

Description

A creamy, crisp nose of cherry and raspberry yoghurt, alive and focused. Initially sharp with a punch of acidity, it turns strict and linear, framed by well-integrated tannins with a spiced, cool liquorice edge. Serious yet controlled, it offers clarity, precision, and purity, with mouthwatering acidity and minty, graphite terroir notes. Not as full as some, but faultless, it's structured, suave, and racy, with shiny, long-lasting flavour. A yield of 33hl/ha. 3.5pH, and 100% new oak ageing, no press. A primeurs blend as wines are still ageing separately. Drinking window: 2032-2050. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
