Chapelle d’Ausone, the second wine of the prestigious St-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Ausone, is crafted with the same care and attention as the Grand Vin, using fruit from younger vines. The 2020 vintage is made up of 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers aromas of ripe black fruits such as plum and blackcurrant, alongside subtle floral and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is elegant and well-balanced, with smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and refined, demonstrating the exceptional quality and ageing potential of this remarkable second wine.
