Chapelle D'ausone 2nd Vin Château Ausone Saint-Emilion - Magnum 1,5L, 2006

Chapelle d’Ausone is the second wine of the iconic Château Ausone, one of Saint-Émilion’s most revered estates. The 2006 Magnum format offers an especially elegant way to enjoy a wine from this historic Bordeaux property, combining classic Right Bank character with the added benefit of slower, more graceful maturation.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to garnet color with some early signs of maturity from the 2006 vintage. The nose is refined and layered, with notes of black cherry, plum, dried flowers, cedar, graphite, and a touch of earthy spice, reflecting the limestone-driven elegance associated with Saint-Émilion. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, polished, and beautifully structured, with fine tannins and a fresh, mineral line. Expect mature red and dark fruit, tobacco, cocoa, and savory nuances, finishing with poise and length. The Magnum format should help preserve freshness, and the wine may continue to evolve well over the next several years depending on storage.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Chapelle d’Ausone benefits from the same exceptional terroir as Château Ausone, including limestone and clay soils that contribute tension, lift, and minerality. The grapes are typically harvested by hand, with strict selection to ensure only the best fruit is retained for vinification. Fermentation and aging are carried out with careful attention to preserving finesse and site expression, often in French oak for structure and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, game birds, truffle dishes, and mushroom-based cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening now, especially to allow the wine’s aromatic depth to fully unfold.
