| MARKET NOTE |
Ausone is one of Bordeaux's eight official, or non-official, 1st Growths (along with Margaux, Mouton, Latour, Lafite, Haut Brion, Cheval, Petrus) and thus one of Bordeaux's (France's, and probably the world's) greatest wines. Each of these estates produce magical, if not legendary, wines.
Comparing these 8 estates is as difficult as choosing between two Hermés scarves (except when buying one of each).
