Ausone is a 7-hectare wine property located in Saint-Émilion. In the AOC Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, it is one of the first two estates with Château Cheval Blanc to have been classified as a Premier Cru classified “A”. The estate owes its name to the poet Ausone, who is said to have owned Villa Lucaniacum in Saint-Émilion in the 4th century.
Recent studies show that the Ausone cru is one of the oldest in the region. This prestigious property had been in the Dubois-Challons family for three centuries before coming under the management of Alain Vauthier who became its owner. Ausone also produces a second wine, Chapelle d’Ausone.
This second wine is produced in quantities of 4,000 to 10,000 bottles depending on the quality of the vintage and the choice of batches of wines selected to be included in the composition of the Grand Vin.
