Château Ausone
History: heritage and prestige since antiquity
The origins of Château Ausone go back to Roman times, when the hills around Saint-Émilion were already being planted with wine grapes. The name Ausone refers to Decimus Ausonius, a Roman poet and senator who owned beloved vineyards in this region in the fourth century. The château carries this rich heritage with pride, and since the Middle Ages the estate has been regarded as one of the finest producers. Officially recognised as a Premier Grand Cru Classé A in the prestigious Saint-Émilion classification, Château Ausone is known for its impeccable quality and exclusivity. The estate is relatively small and is characterised by a dedicated family operation that has pursued the same passion and finesse for generations, ensuring that every harvest is a guarantee of perfection and elegance.
