Over het wijnhuis Château Ausone is één van de tophuizen van Saint-Émilion en heeft een bijna mythische status. De wijngaarden liggen op de zuidelijke helling van het kalkstenen plateau dat Saint-Émilion kenmerkt. De naam van het landgoed zou zijn afgeleid van de 4e eeuwse Romeinse dichter Ausonius.

Awards "The 2020 Chapelle d'Ausone contains more Cabernet Franc (60%) than the grand vin this year and 5% of Cabernet Sauvignon too. Revealing aromas of cherries, red berries, incense and cloves, it's medium to full-bodied, perfumed and precise, with a satiny attack and a saline finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The purity of fruit here is really impressive with crushed currants and raspberries. Violets and lavender. Full-bodied, very intense and energetic. Tangy with bitter orange undertones. Grabs you. Chewy and fine tannins at the end. Second wine of Ausone. A blend of 60% cabernet franc, 35% merlot, and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Needs four to five years to come together and open." - James Suckling

"60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cask sample. Definitely more Cabernet-orientated these days providing a structured, driven feel to the palate. Aromatically reserved but lithe fruit and firm but fine tannins. Great persistence on the finish. Should fill out in time. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson

"The 2020 Chapelle d’Ausone has a well defined, focused bouquet. Tightly-wound at first, the 2020 opens with lavender and incense aromas infusing the red berry fruit. Touches of rose petal emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and moderate depth. A discrete white pepper note builds towards the finish that is vivacious and vibrant. I suspect that this might close down a little after bottling, but there is great potential." - Vinous

"This has a beautifully nuanced yet deep flavour, showing the tight pared-back salinity and juice of limestone alongside fleshy blackberry fruits. There are firm but flexible tannins, it has grip and tension and frankly all the things that you want from a Chapelle, giving a generous hint of what you can expect from Ausone itself. First year of official conversion to organic farming. 3.66pH. 100% new oak." - Decanter
