Wine Producers

Château Ausone is named after the fourth century Roman poet Ausonius who owned over 100 acres of vineyard around Saint-Émilion. The modern château and its 7 hectares of vineyards (Cabernet Franc and Merlot) date back to the 18th century. Ausone holds the distinction of Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” status - and one of only two estates to hold this status since the inception of the classification in 1955. A very limited production of fewer than 2000 cases annually makes Château Ausone one of the most expensive and sought-after Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux wines.
