Description
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.
