Clos des Baies是一個St Emilion Grand Cru，於一片接近Chateau Pavie和Pavie Decesse的小田上種植95%-98% Merlot，而剩下來的是Cabernet Franc。此酒由Chateau Ausone的年輕釀酒師Philippe Baillarguet釀造，這是他的個人計劃，因為Ausone是55% Cabernet Franc，所以這酒的風土和結構都和它不能比較，但如果未來有更多土地供應，Philippe樂意加入更多Cabernet Franc於酒中。

品酒筆記：
(2009)櫻桃、紫羅蘭香氣，味道紮實，十分高質素的黑果和紅果，有點礦物味，口感厚重順滑，餘韻悠長。
(2011)酒標有具現代感的設計，這支2011 Clos des Baies有熟透的黑車厘子及野莓香氣。酒體中等至濃厚，美味，性感而順滑，並有討好果香。這支St-Emilion紅酒令人回味，誘惑而十分精彩。於未來5-8年仍然適飲。
Clos des Baies is a St Emilion Grand Cru -- 95-98% Merlot, the balance Cabernet Franc -- produced from a small plot of vines (0.3HA) located near the vineyards of Chateau Pavie & Pavie Decesse. The wine is made by Mr. Philippe Baillarguet, the young wine maker of Chateau Ausone. This is his personal project, as Ausone is 55% Cabernet Franc, this wine is not comparable in either terroir or composition, however Philippe has interest in supplementing the blend with more Cab Franc in the future should a plot become available.

Tasting notes:
(2009)Dark red vibrant color. The nose is cherry, violets, and a touch of butter from the quality barrels showing their early participation. Palate is structured, with very high quality dark red fruit, and a touch of minerality. Velvety mouthfeel. Long finish.
(2011)A small property with a modern designer label, the 2011 Clos des Baies smells of ripe black cherries and wild mountain berry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, delicious, sexy, soft, and loaded with pleasurable levels of fruit and glycerin, this is a head-turning, seductive, dramatic St.-Emilion to enjoy over the next 5-8 years.
