Under Alain Vauthier`s full control of winemaking and management at his family`s estate, Ausone has undergone tremendous improvements in recent years. This transformation has elevated Ausone back to its prestigious status as a top First Growth property, competing with Pétrus and Cheval Blanc as the leading châteaux on the Right Bank. With production levels even lower than Pétrus, the demand for Ausone has surged, making it one of Bordeaux`s most sought-after and elusive wines. The 1990 vintage is still full of life, with ample fruit, lovely structure and well-integrated tannins.
