2023 Château Ausone Chapelle d'Ausone Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Chapelle d'Ausone is the second wine of the legendary Château Ausone, offering a remarkably refined glimpse into one of Saint-Émilion’s most celebrated estates. Crafted with the same attention to detail and pedigree, it captures the elegance, precision, and terroir-driven character that have made Ausone an icon in Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep ruby hue with youthful purple highlights. On the nose, expect a lifted bouquet of dark berries, plum, violet, graphite, and subtle spice, with a finely judged mineral edge that reflects its Saint-Émilion origins. On the palate, it is usually silky and poised, with ripe black fruit, fresh acidity, polished tannins, and a long, savory finish. While approachable in youth, it should also reward several years of cellaring, developing greater complexity and depth over time.

Production
Sourced from the limestone-rich slopes of Saint-Émilion, the wine benefits from one of Bordeaux’s most distinguished terroirs, where excellent drainage and mineral tension help shape its finesse. Fruit is carefully harvested and vinified with the same precision associated with Château Ausone, typically focusing on gentle extraction and élevage to preserve purity, balance, and structure.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, beef fillet, mushroom dishes, and fine hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about an hour if drinking young to allow its aromatics and texture to fully open.

Producer
Château Ausone is one of Saint-Émilion’s most prestigious names, with a long history of producing some of Bordeaux’s most sought-after wines. Renowned for its limited production and exceptional vineyard site, the estate has earned an enduring reputation for elegance, longevity, and finesse, making it a benchmark producer in the region.
