Tasting notes
Deep crimson. More fluid and juicy than some on the palate but not a lot of flesh. Abrupt finish and tart at the end but more juice than some in this flight. (JH)

Owned by the Vauthier family, this wine receives much of the same attention as the historic Ausone vineyard. Open-knit with lots of ripe black cherry and black currant fruit as well as crisp acids, a hint of chalky minerality, and a medium-bodied finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years.
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 18 months in new oak. Cedary cassis nose, plenty of oak in evidence. Slight minty note. Soft, thick tannins. Rounded but finishes a bit dry and not a lot of flesh in the middle. Then a rush of juice on the finish. Not integrated at the moment. (JH)
This wine is polished with lifted dark berry fruit and amazing freshness. There is a wonderful depth to the flavours and a richness in the mid palate. Full bodied, generous wine - while approachable this is a serious wine with velvety tannins. Very long length. A wine from the Vauthier family. AsianPalate.com
