1937 Chateau Ausone, Saint Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Description

Chateau Ausone, 1937

An extremely rare and vintage bottle of St Emillion top estate Chateau Ausone in outstanding condition from the 1937 (!) vintage (which was a very good vintage for the right bank).

Given the age this bottle is in absolutely fabulous condition with one of the best fill levels in my collection of anything older than 80 years.
The old Ausone capsule is firmly attached and and quite intact with very little corrosion or cracking, the fill level is around base of neck (!) and the label is perfectly readable with some soiling and scuffs (see images).

The glass bottle itself is a beautiful example of pre-WWII Bordeaux bottle finishing:
Quite tall and heavy with an extremely deep (ca.5cm+) and thin bottom section with a typical irregular finishing that hold sediment very tightly, the shape of the bottle is slightly concave rather than entirely straight.
