Chapelle d'Ausone 2023

Château Ausone, a legendary vineyard The Vauthier family have taken care of this vineyard with an unwavering passion for the soil since 1690. Here, everyone has purple-stained hands from working in the cellars. Alain and his elder daughter Pauline, of the eleventh wine growing generation, make the wine today, while remaining loyal to the spirit of their ancestors. Chapelle d'Ausone, a lovely overture Crafted in the same conditions as its elder sibling, its slightest concern is that it is made with grapes from young vines that will later produce the First Wine. Beside the Cabernet Franc, the Merlot stands out more distinctly, enhancing the crisp fruit and mingling with the subtlest hints of Cabernet Sauvignon. As always, Ausone’s hallmark of taste, its omnipresent elegance, is passionately displayed. The 2023 Vintage: The elegant youth of Château Ausone The great clay-limestone terroirs on terraces and hillsides played a crucial role in mastering the climatic challenges of this vintage. Combined with the winegrowers’ precise work in the vines, this ensured that the health of the grapes remained optimal as the weeks progressed. Ripeness and balance reached perfection thanks to a dry and mild September. Tasting notes: Bright ruby in color. The nose combines notes of violet, blackberries, blackcurrant, and a hint of pepper. The palate is distinguished by its balance. The silky tannins reveal a tension full of elegance with a refined and smooth structure. The persistent finish is supported by aromas of spices and fruits.
