The Chapelle d'Ausone 2014 is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon picked between 4 and 15 October and aged in 85% new oak for what will be around 18 months. It has a plush blueberry and boysenberry-scented bouquet, with a hint of warm gravel developing with aeration. The palate is sweet on the entry with rounded red berry fruit and well-judged acidity. Although it does not have enormous persistence on the finish, it is both focused and harmonious. There is nothing extravagant here but who cares when there is more than enough freshness already sutured into this deuxième vin.

The 2014 Chapelle d’Ausone is soft, open-knit and silky. Dark red and purplish-hued stone fruits, mint, rose petal and lavender are pushed front and center in the Chapelle, Ausone’s Merlot-based second wine. Radiant and enveloping, the 2014 will drink nicely right out of the gate. A closing flourish of rose petal, blood orange and spice adds an exotic flair to this very pretty and expressive Saint-Émilion. - AG 02/2017
