The Press
'has some age already, but will acquire a greater richness. Its excellent drinking now, though being fleshy and velvety, with a whiff of cedar, blackcurrant and toast. When you consider the ridiculous prices charged for clarets you can see what excellent value this is....'—Simon Hoggart, The Spectator
Our tasting notes
Deep, dark red, almost black Bordeaux with a mellow summer fruit driven nose. Not over concentrated and very soft on the palate. A very pleasant glass of classic claret. Good with everything or by itself. Rich, ripe and drinking really well in 1/2's.Wine data

About Bordeaux
Since Roman times the world's largest and most famous wine region—the Latin poet Ausonius had a vineyard here, hence Château Ausone. However the most famous Grands Crus represent just 5% of the total production; there are more than 5000 châteaux and many hundreds of communal wines. The 1855 classification of Grands Crus and Crus Bourgeois is no longer an entirely reliable guide, with some Crus Bourgois wines clearly of classed growth quality and vice versa. Most recently some 70 Crus Bourgeois have been declassified, with some suing.
