Overview

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: The young and very talented technical director at Château Ausone has produced this cuvée since 2008 from a family vineyard at the foot of St-Emilion. The first vintage was promising, and this one confirms the brilliance of this winemaker. With great elegance, super-fine tannin, fresh but soft fruit, and great, savory length, this Clos des Baies really must be discovered. 16.5
