Bidding advice
You can place bids either under the lot image on the main auction page or on the right side of the individual lot page.
Placing a Maximum Bid
Use the "Set your bid limit" button on the left side of the bidding panel to enter the highest amount you're willing to bid on a lot. Our system will then automatically raise your bid in set increments if you’re outbid, up to your maximum. If someone bids above your set limit, we’ll notify you by email so you can choose whether to increase your bid.
Placing a Single Bid
Alternatively, place a single bid by selecting the button on the right side of the bidding panel. The button displays the amount needed for the next increment. For example, if the current highest bid is £50.00, the button will show "+ £55.00" (reflecting a £5.00 increment).
Incremental Bidding Explained
Our system increases bids based on preset increments, as shown in the table below, whether you set a maximum bid or make a single bid.
Bottle Details
Chateau Ausone Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 1970
Situated on the right bank of the Bordeaux, the Saint-Emilion Appellation is possibly the oldest active wine producing appellation in the Bordeaux region with a history that dates back to the times of the ancient Romans. Indeed some suggest Chateau Ausone, may be the original Lucaniac villa dating back to the fourth century which belonged to the famed Roman poet Ausonius. If you go to the lower portion of the Bordeaux wine estate, you can find numerous archaeological remains of an ancient Roman villa. Among the ruins, can be found mosaics that show the estate was known as “La Villa du Palat.” Regardless of where the poet planted his Bordeaux wine vineyards, Ausone has been produced for close to 4 centuries under the name honoring Ausonius.
Chateau Ausone also has some of the oldest vines in St. Emilion with oldest having been planted in 1906. The St. Emilion vineyard of Chateau Ausone is, today, planted to 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot and aproximatly reflects the percentage make up of the wine.
