Tasting Notes

A sleeper of the vintage, this cuvee, made by Ausone’s Alain Vauthier, possesses a dark purple color as well as an elegant perfume of cold steel interwoven with crushed rocks, white flowers, blueberries, and licorice. With terrific fruit, medium body, sweet tannin, and a long, layered finish, it can be drunk now and over the next decade.
