"70% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot. This 10 hectare estate is part of the Vauthier family’s Ausone stable. Violet and peony aromas, leading into a palate of shiny dark berry and bitter cherry fruit, with a tangerine rind flair and very fresh, almost lemony acidity. The finish is tangy, with a bitter fruited freshness. 12 year old vines.
