Chapelle d’Ausone is the esteemed second wine of the prestigious Château Ausone, located in the renowned Saint-Émilion appellation in Bordeaux. This exceptional wine embodies the nobility and complexity of the unique limestone terroir of Saint-Émilion, while offering a more accessible and charming expression than the grand vin.

Terroir and Characteristics

Crafted from a blend dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Chapelle d'Ausone benefits from a rich limestone soil and a temperate climate that enables optimal grape ripening. This remarkable terroir imparts a signature style combining finesse, minerality, and aromatic depth.

On the nose, it features delicate and complex aromas of ripe black fruits, violet flowers, fine spices, and a subtle mineral note typical of the Saint-Émilion terroir. On the palate, it offers a silky texture with well-integrated tannins providing fine structure. The finish is long, elegant, and harmonious, showcasing the winemaker's mastery in preserving fruit purity and terroir typicity.

Food Pairings
