]]> On the site known as Roc Blancan, literally the "white rock", the Ausone estate is anchored on the hillside. A mineral theatre slowly sculpted by man: for two millennia, life, like the vine, has chosen the stone to settle. The rock, however, offers much more than a setting for the wine: it is an intimate part of it. In its limestone, the vines take root. In its underground quarries, converted into cellars since the 18th century, the barrels wait. Between silence and darkness, the hygrometry and thermal inertia culminate and offer unique conditions for maturing.

The château distributes its seven hectares of vines in small terraces. Surrounded by stone, the plots are sheltered from the wind and enjoy a perfect east-south-east exposure. The Vauthier family has watched over the vineyard since 1690, with an unchanged passion for the land. Here, everyone gets their hands dirty in the cellars. Alain and his eldest daughter Pauline, the eleventh generation of winegrowers, make the wine today, faithful to the spirit of their forefathers.
