Super giving with great freshness, this is a charming little monkey, with purple berry fruit, licorice, black soil, and hints of spice. Quality wine for the price. Ausone winemaker.

Licorice, black cherries, and violets with espresso, and cocoa create the core of the wine. On the palate, the wine is lush, supple, rich, polished, and fresh. You will be able to enjoy this in its youth, due to all the layers of sweet, creamy, ripe fruits, or age it for more complexity. Clos des Baies is produced by Philippe Baillarguet, the long-time cellar master of Chateau Ausone. The wine blends 60% Merlot with 40% Cabernet Franc, 15% ABV. Drink from 2025-2037. 92-94 Pts.
