Over het wijnhuis | Château Ausone is één van de tophuizen van Saint-Émilion en heeft een bijna mythische status. De wijngaarden liggen op de zuidelijke helling van het kalkstenen plateau dat Saint-Émilion kenmerkt. De naam van het landgoed zou zijn afgeleid van de 4e eeuwse Romeinse dichter Ausonius. |

Awards | "The 2022 Chapelle d'Ausone has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of sweet mulberries, blackberries and plums mingled with hints of violets, mint and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, it's concentrated and generously extracted, with ripe acids and a saline, oak-inflected finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Really bright and open with flowers and plums as well as blueberries. It's medium- to full- bodied with creamy and round tannins and a vivid finish. Lots of energy and fruitiness. Second wine of Ausone. 60% cabernet franc, 35% merlot and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Drink after 2028." - James Suckling "60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cask sample. Deep, bright crimson hue. Fragrant and floral. More length than breadth but dense all the same. Drives from the word go and stays persistent. A real delight and should age. Perhaps a bit heady. (JL) "The 2022 Chapelle d'Ausone is a heady, imposing Saint-Émilion. Deep and layered, Chapelle d'Ausone is an undeniably serious wine. It offers notable textural resonance and volume, with a mix of unctuous richness and vibrancy that is distinctive. The blend is 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the Cabernets very much driving the blend. Even so, this is a decidedly big Chapelle that hides its elevated alcohol well. "Ripe blackcurrants, black liquorice, bitter chocolate, violets. Zingy and clean before smooth, mouth-coating tannins arrive. Salty liquorice gives a flinty texture, this has restrained power with fresh elegance. Exquisite and precise, well-crafted but needs time. Maybe a hint of tar on the finish alongside flashes of heat from the alcohol." - Decanter |
