SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU CHAPELLE DE LABRIE 2002

€150.00

Bouteille 75 cl

A famous estate in Saint-Émilion, Gironde, the Château covers 7 hectares and includes 25 ares of vines. Along with Château Cheval Blanc, it was one of the first two estates to be classified as an “A” Premier Cru. Recent studies show that the Ausone cru is one of the oldest in the region. This prestigious estate had belonged to the Dubois-Challons family for three centuries before coming under the management of Alain Vauthier, who became its owner.

About

Finesse, elegance and length are the order of the day! This Saint-Émilion is a wine for laying down, often needing more than a decade before it can be fully appreciated. Enjoy it now!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is now the time to open this 2002, or should I wait a little longer?

The description recommends drinking it now, after noting that it often takes more than ten years to be enjoyed. Nothing indicates that further waiting is necessary, or how many more years it could be cellared.

What might this 2002 offer compared with the Chapelle de Labrie 2017?

The 2002 has had more time to age and is explicitly described here as ready to drink now. However, without tasting notes for the 2017, it is not possible to compare their aromas, structure, or maturity in bottle.

Is this wine suited to someone looking for elegance rather than power?

The description specifically highlights finesse and elegance, so these are the best points of reference to guide your choice. However, it does not describe the wine’s concentration or tannins, so it cannot be said to be light.

What should I look for on the palate to appreciate the stated length?

Notice how long the sensations linger after you swallow or spit out the wine. Length is one of the qualities highlighted, but no specific aromas are given, so it is best to let the tasting reveal them.

Is this Chapelle de Labrie or Chapelle d’Ausone?

The product name says “Chapelle de Labrie 2002,” while the estate field and category mention “Chapelle d’Ausone.” This information is contradictory: have the exact identity of the bottle confirmed before choosing it to discover either of these wines.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
