A joint tenth place for two heavyweights from the Left and Right banks. Ausone has received a lot of critical praise as is clear to see from the three scores above.
A split between two estates from either side of the Gironde in many ways rather neatly sums up the vintage which many have noted did not seem to favour either the Médoc or Libournnais which can often be the case.
