2016 La Chapelle d'Ausone, Saint-Emilion, France

Chateau Ausone is a highly regarded wine estate in the Saint-Émilion region of northeastern Bordeaux. It is one of the prestigious few Saint-Émilion producers with Premier Grand Cru Classé A status – and one of only two estates (the other being Château Cheval Blanc) to hold this status since the inception of the classification in 1955.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 94+) A blend of 56% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Chapelle d'Ausone sings of black raspberries, kirsch and plum preserves with hints of unsmoked cigars, pencil lead, lavender and chocolate box plus a waft of garrigue. Medium-bodied and fantastically elegant in the mouth, the red and black fruit layers are beautifully framed by firm yet fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and minerally. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Issue date: November 2018. Drinking window: 2020 - 2040.

Vinous

The 2016 Chapelle d'Ausone offers intense black cherries, raspberry coulis and marmalade aromas on the nose, manifesting more delineation in the glass over the course of 10-15 minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with fine­grained tannins, very pure black fruit and tangible mineralite and tension on the finish. This is pure class, a wine of nobility and deliciousness. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: January 2020. Drinking window: 2022 - 2045.
