La Chapelle d'Ausone 2022

Wineadvocate

A blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Chapelle d'Ausone offers up aromas of cherries, raspberries and rose petals mingled with subtle hints of incense. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's taut and youthfully firm, concluding with a mineral finish. - WK 04/2023

Beck

Le caractère floral du bouquet de la Chapelle est déjà un indice lié à la forte proportion de Cabernet Franc (60%). Il est rejoint par des notes de sureau et d'eucalyptus, donc de la fraîcheur également. En bouche le vin est crémeux, élégant, harmonieux. Il est doté de tannins suaves et amples qui offrent un caractère soyeux tandis que l'acidité confère un peu de salinité et de tension en fin de bouche. C'est un Chapelle d'excellent niveau qui a de la chair, du tempérament et de la persistance. Très belle réussite. - 04/2023

Suckling

Red berries such as cherries and raspberries. Cassis. Full-bodied, very tight and focused on the palate with a linear acid and tannin backbone. Racy at the end. Contrasty. Plenty of energy. Just takes off. 65% cabernet franc and 35% merlot. - 04/2023

Dunnuck

Cassis, red plums, graphite, chalky minerality, violet notes, and a hint of espresso all emerge from the 2022 Chapelle D'Ausone, which is based on 60% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon. With a vivid purple hue, medium to full body, ripe, present tannins, and a great finish, it's one hell of a second wine that will probably have 20-25 years of longevity. - 05/2023
