CHAPELLE d'AUSONE
Second wine from Château Ausone

Second wine of Ausone, rare (1 ha in production out of the 7 ha of the Ausone vineyard), slightly less powerful but just as racy and energetic as the Grand Vin. And like it, it has a remarkable capacity for ageing.

Like all Vauthier vineyards (Ausone, La Clotte, Moulin Saint-Georges, Haut-Simard...), Chapelle d'Ausone began its conversion to organic farming in 2020.

J-M Quarin : 94/100 « Couleur vive, intense et sombre. Nez sentant bon la framboise, évoluant intense dans le verre, fin, subtil, complexe et noble. Minutieux à l'attaque, doté d'une texture ravissante et d'un corps fondant, le vin évolue raffiné, racé et distingué dans la persistance. Une qualité de déroulé et d'arômes unique induit par 85 % cabernet franc et 15 % cabernet sauvignon. La magie des jeunes vignes d'Ausone. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Chapelle d'Ausone, like the 2021, contains no Merlot. It has an intense bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, blueberry and light violet scents. This is finely delineated, although the 2022 was more complex. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, a linear style and more black fruit compared to say, La Clotte."

Vinous (A. Galloni): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Chapelle d'Ausone is a very pretty wine second wine. Floral aromatics, bright red-toned fruit and refined tannins convey an impression of finesse in a mid-weight, nuanced Chapelle. Today, the 2024 is a bit quiet. I won't be at all surprised it is even better from bottle."
