The Winery

Chapelle d`Ausone

Rumored to be the 4th century villa belonging to Roman poet Ausonius, Chapelle d'Ausone is located on the famously sought-after limestone plateau of Saint Emilion. Only three different families have ever handled this estate with Alan Vauthier and daughter Pauline as direct descendants of the 17th century owners being the current managers. Chapelle d'Ausone stands proudly with the five 'First Growths' of the Right Bank, and is famous for lush wines with pure fruit and distinctive minerality.

Tasting Notes

WA93
One of the best second wines I have ever tasted, the 2003 Chapelle d'Ausone is rivaled by the 2003 Carruades de Lafite and 2003 Forts de Latour. Dense ruby/purple to the rim with an extraordinary nose of flowers, figs, black raspberries, blueberries, and sweet cherries along with striking minerality and precision, this exquisite second wine represents the essence of Ausone. It should drink well for 25+ years.
