Medium-bodied with weak fruit with a pinched finish. 2 bottles tasted. On day two, more ox than fruit. The Vauthier family owns this, and should do better. 86-87

Flowers, herbs, spice, smoke, licorice and ripe red pit fruits are all over the place. Medium-bodied, soft and silky, with freshness, length and purity. Made from a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Bordeaux 2018 from bottle (Bordeaux and Strasbourg): Under the same ownership of Ausone, the Vauthier Family has crafted a rich, scrumptious wine, made from vines grown on clay over limestone. The blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc has a very low pH of 3.4 so fantastic freshness in 2018, and the wine has appealing wet stone on its palate along with rose stem. The tannin has power and structure and will need a few years cellaring for a proper drinking window. I’m buyer! Full notes in wine-chronicles.com

Ripe black plum, cocoa, flowers and black cherry create the nose. On the palate, the wine is round, polished, ripe and fleshy with soft, silky tannins and a fruity finish. Made from a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the harvest was picked from September 28 to October 9. 91-93 Pts

Getting better and better! Lots of tipe black cherry hints of plum and prune. Full bodied with soft velvety tannins and excellent length
