2007 Chapelle d’Ausone, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 6x75cl

Chateau Ausone

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 89

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.

Stephen Tanzer

(a 50/50 blend of merlot and cabernet franc) Good deep color. Aromas and flavors of black fruits and minerals, lifted by spices and violet. Still a bit reduced but offers lovely sweetness of fruit and vivacity for the year. Finishes with very good cut and length. A terrific second wine, nicely rounded out by the addition of press wine.

Ausone's second wine, the 2007 Chapelle d-Ausone, is a delicious, crisp, crunchy effort revealing lots of minerality along with raspberry and black cherry characteristics, a supple texture, and delicious flavors similar to its more famous sibling.

50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot. Mid to dark crimson. Very heady and full. Round and not at all concentrated. A little green on the finish. Pretty angular. Nothing like as good as Petit Cheval. Angular. Maybe very slightly too much new oak?
