Chapelle d’Ausone 2020

Ausone

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

The younger sibling of Château Ausone, the Chapelle d’Ausone is not one to be overlooked. The distinct personality of Cabernet Franc is matched with Merlot and offset by hints of Cabernet Sauvignon, to develop well rounded flavours of crisp, dark fruit. Plucked from young vines (up to ten years old) and aged in 100% new barrels for 20 months, Chapelle d’Ausone’s youthful process is still grounded in tradition. Manual harvests, combined with Ausone’s chalky limestone terroir contribute to an alchemic blend that sees the wine glide through flavours of rich fruits and piquant minerality.

William Kelley

The 2020 Chapelle dAusone contains more Cabernet Franc (60%) than the grand vin this year and 5% of Cabernet Sauvignon too. Revealing aromas of cherries, red berries, incense and cloves, its medium to full-bodied, perfumed and precise, with a satiny attack and a saline finish.

Jane Anson

This has a beautifully nuanced yet deep flavour, showing the tight pared-back salinity and juice of limestone alongside fleshy blackberry fruits. There are firm but flexible tannins, it has grip and tension and frankly all the things that you want from a Chapelle, giving a generous hint of what you can expect from Ausone itself. First year of official conversion to organic farming. 3.66pH. 100% new oak.
