This elegant second wine of Château Ausone reveals aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet, graphite, and subtle spice with beautifully integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers refined dark fruit, silky tannins, lively acidity, and a long, polished finish with classic Saint-Émilion finesse.
Food Pairing: Roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle dishes, wild mushrooms, aged hard cheeses.
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
The second wine of Ausone comes from specific parcels of the vineyard. With 60% of Cabernet Franc in the blend with Merlot, the wine is structured and firm, perfumed and rich. It will age well, drink from 2026. Roger Voss
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of wine from young vines with a few barriques of declassified Ausone (though anything that doesn't make the grade is sold off in bulk), the 2019 Chapelle d'Ausone exhibits attractive aromas of cherries, sweet berry fruit, violets, spices, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it's elegant and refined, with a deep core of fruit and impeccable balance.
