Product Description
The 2020 Chapelle d’Ausone was aged in 100% new oak and was the First year of their official conversion to organic farming. Only 5,000 bottles were made making it slightly rarer than its big brother. The wine will be ready for drinking in a couple of years and has the ability to last until around 2040.
Tasting Notes
Vinous 94
The 2020 Chapelle d Ausone has a well defined, focused bouquet. Tightly-wound at first, the 2020 opens with lavender and incense aromas infusing the red berry fruit. Touches of rose petal emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and moderate depth. A discrete white pepper note builds towards the finish that is vivacious and vibrant. I suspect that this might close down a little after bottling, but there is great potential.
