The steep slopes of the vineyard are arranged like an amphitheatre, facing south-east, which gives perfect exposure and maximum protection, and the soil is a mixture of clay and sand on limestone. When old vines and the ability to pick the entire vineyard quickly, due to the small size, are added to the recipe the result is something special. Ausone grows in bottle in a highly individual way, expanding and becoming more ample, although always retaining its scent and finesse. Remember to give it decanting time. Alain Vauthier has been at the Chateau since 1985, with financial control since 1995. SS. Lot Quantity: 1
