Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (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.

Falstaff (94)

Deep dark ruby, purple glints, faintly lighter at the rim. Delicate floral nuances underlaid with black fruit of the forest berries, ripe cherries, a hint of tangerine zest, and background notes of nougat. Complex, tightly woven, fine fruit expression, vivid tannins, ripe sweetheart cherries on the finish, persistent. Possesses good development potential.

Wine Enthusiast (94)

This dense bottling, the second wine of Château Ausone, is rich both in tannins and dark berry fruits. Produced from selected parcels and young vines, the wine has rich tannins that are already melding smoothly into the structure and fruit.
