Tasting Notes
James Suckling 93
A blend of wine from young vines with a few barriques of declassified Ausone (though anything that doesn’t make the grade is sold off in bulk), the 2019 Chapelle d’Ausone exhibits attractive aromas of cherries, sweet berry fruit, violets, spices, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it’s elegant and refined, with a deep core of fruit and impeccable balance.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045
Vinous 92
The 2019 Chapelle d’Ausone has a taut nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, quite marine influenced with a tang of Japanese nori. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, fine depth though not the most powerful Saint-Emilion, compensating with admirable elegance on the finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2045
