Tasting note: Made by Ausone’s proprietor, Alain Vauthier, this attractive, round, pretty wine is soft and generous, with loads of blueberry and raspberry fruit as well as hints of incense and crushed rock. It should drink well for a decade or more. (87-89pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 87-89
Drink: 2010-20

Tasting note: Showing a dark color with a fruity and truffled nose, this wine is slightly broken in two pieces: on one side it behaves tender, and then it performs slightly firmer towards finish. I think the 25% cabernet sauvignon are not justified into the blend. (86pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasted: Mar. 2010
Score: 86
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: Pretty Cabernet Franc aromas of crushed berries and some milk chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft and silky tannins. Long sweet fruit on the finish. (88-91pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
