Chapelle D'ausone 2nd Vin Château Ausone Saint-Emilion, 2022

Chapelle d'Ausone is the distinguished second wine of Château Ausone, one of Saint-Émilion’s most revered estates. Crafted with the same attention to detail as the grand vin, it offers an elegant and more approachable expression of the estate’s limestone terroir and refined Bordeaux style.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 vintage is expected to show a deep, vibrant colour with a polished, youthful profile. Aromatically, it typically leans toward ripe black cherry, plum, violets, graphite, and subtle spice, with the limestone soils lending a fresh, mineral edge. On the palate, Chapelle d'Ausone is usually supple yet structured, combining ripe dark fruit with finesse, fine tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The 2022 vintage should have good ageing potential, rewarding bottle age over the next decade or more as the wine gains complexity and softness.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, the wine benefits from the estate’s prized limestone and clay-limestone terroir, which helps preserve freshness and definition in the fruit. Grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, with careful selection to maintain quality for the second wine. Vinification is carried out with the same precision associated with Château Ausone, focusing on gentle extraction and élevage in oak to build texture and balance.

Food & Serving
Ideal with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, game birds, mushroom dishes, or mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help open the aromas and soften the tannins.

Producer

The second wine carries that heritage into a more accessible style while preserving the estate’s hallmark elegance and precision.
