The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Ausone is a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc picked 10-14 October and 14-19 October, respectively, at 40 hectoliters per hectare. It is matured in 80% new oak with a light toasting, a move that Alain and Pauline Vauthier have made in recent years just to lessen the impact of the oak. There is a palpable...stateliness about the Ausone this year. It is extraordinarily pure and articulates its terroir as well as any vintage that I can remember over the last 20-odd years. It is not as flamboyant as other Saint Emilions, more correct and precise. The palate is very elegant and precise. I adore the exquisite balance of this Ausone, the precision and fineness of the tannin, the effortlessness that it conveys. This is classy and sophisticated, satin-like in texture with a long and sensual finish. Not an Ausone that is going to blaze across the sky, this is a cerebral, intellectual Ausone that will entrance for many years to come."

Decanter Magazine

"The incredible succulent power in Ausone puts a different perspective on other wines, as it so often does. The epitome of perfumed finesse. The yield is up at 40hl/ha, high for these poor limestone soils, and the remarkable clarity of expression that runs right through the delicate but fleshy raspberry and smoke-tinged palate is helped by a pH of 3.5 (compared to 3.6 last year). In my book this counts as one of the truly exciting signatures of the vintage and that is only boosted by the limestone terroir. Stunning, with enormous persistency and a finish that just doesn´t want to quit. From a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc, aged in 80% new oak barrels. 98-100 points."

"Deep crimson. Very ripe nose and then rather chewy end. Drying finish. Not charming for the moment - even a little exaggerated. Though there is a broad panoply of fruit flavours that come rather precipitously to a drying end."

"A luminous hue of ruby ink with a wink of purple, this wine is refined and intense. There is a wealth of sensuous fruits, fresh flowers and the essence of crushed stone. The texture is pure velvet. The finish stays with you like a fragrance in the air, long after she’s left the room. If you cannot afford this stunning wine (and I am in your boat as well) seek out prosperous friends so you can drink their wine. 2015 is a unique expression of Ausone that needs to be tasted at least once. Made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot, the wine reached 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.6 and represents 70% of the crop. The harvest took place from September 29 to October 10."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur sombre, intense, pourpre, unie et belle. Nez intense, fin, extrêmement fruité et complexe. Bouche ample à l'attaque, se développant serrée et pourtant fondante au milieu. Lente évolution puissante, mais toujours en douceur. Le vin se met à fondre, avec une expression unique et captivante. Puis il se relâche dans ses appuis et s'envole dans une très, très grande finale parfumée au grain de tannin magique. Emouvant ! Bravo pour l'avoir fait. 2030 – 2120. Assemblage : 50 % cabernet franc, 50 % merlot. Degré d'alcool : 13,8° (dans la moyenne) – pH : 3,5 (dans la moyenne). Rendement : 40 hl/ha. Production : 25 000 bouteilles."

Revue du Vin de France

"Assemblage paritaire merlot-cabernet franc, il impose l'harmonie de ses formes, avec cette spontanéité confondante qui le caractérise désormais. Le fruit reste croquant de bout en bout, malgré une certaine matité aromatique. Aussi accompli qu'en 2015, dans le m^me élan, il apparaît davantage sur la réserve en 2016."

James Suckling

"This is one of the most subtle and ethereal Ausones I have encountered in a while. It’s a full-bodied wine, yet one that’s very refined in texture, all the way to the extremely long finish. Shows real dignity and character. A throwback to the great years of the 1950s."

Roger Voss

"98–100. Barrel Sample. This wine has the potential to be an 100-point selection. It is hugely rich and perfumed, with 50% Cabernet Franc. It has great intensity and richness, with the promise to age well over so many years. This is one of the largest quantities of Ausone made in recent years thanks to vintage quality. Impressive and for the long-term."

"Raffinement de texture et plénitude de corps. Un Ausone au fond immense, plus large d’épaule que d’habitude mais avec la même souveraine finesse de tannin. Un géant."

VINOUS

"A regal, soaring wine, the 2016 Ausone is one of the wines of the vintage. Cabernet Franc aromatics meld into a core of beautifully layered, exquisite fruit. The flavors are bright, lifted and wonderfully focused throughout. Sweet red berry, blood orange, jasmine and sweet spice notes build into a super-expressive, silky finish supported by bright acids and vibrant salinity. Stunningly beautiful and precise, Ausone is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine."

Yves Beck

"50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot

Pourpre violacé. Bouquet complexe et fin révélant d’élégantes notes de griottes, myrtilles et framboises. Touche de cannelle, vanille. Notes poivrées et même un peu de menthe. Attaque friande, élégante, charmante. Le corps reflète parfaitement les caractéristiques olfactives et est doté de tannins exceptionnels qui se révèlent très lentement en fin de bouche. Ils sont fins et convaincants. Finale fruitée, juteuse, élégante et très longue. Que de beauté."

"Das aromatische Potenzial ist umwerfend, das Ganze einmal mehr sehr burgundisch, aber auch besonders fruchtig und sogar zu-gänglich, die Qualität der Tannine grandios, dicht, sehr, sehr lang."
