This sensational Le Petit Vauthier Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2015 is produced by the 11th generation of winemakers of the Vauthier family, which has owned Château Ausone for over 300 years. Le Petit Vauthier is located on an exceptional terroir, and has entrancing aromatics and concentration on the nose. Decant for 30 minutes, serve in large Bordeaux stems, and enjoy layers of rich red berry fruit (raspberry, cherry, spiced plum, ripe strawberry) that spring from a complex bed of crushed stone, potting soil, bay leaf, clay, and pipe tobacco. It’s the kind of wine that can only be produced here, and only by growers who are able to fully trust noble Merlot to be its truest self.
