Food and wine pairing with a bottle of Château Ausone calls for dishes that match its distinguished and complex character. Its elegant tannic structure and distinctive minerality pair perfectly with a beef wellington with black truffles, a herb-roasted milk-fed lamb or a pigeon with ceps. More adventurous enthusiasts will also appreciate its pairing with aged cheeses such as an old Comté or a ripe Brie de Meaux. The key is to choose preparations that do not mask the wine's finesse, but accompany it with subtlety.
