Chapelle d'Ausone 2013

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Even Ausone’s second wine is special in this mediocre Bordeaux vintage. The ripe 2013 La Chapelle d’Ausone offers hints of violets and crushed rocks as well as a soft, silky richness, medium body and loads of fruit. This successful St.-Emilion may turn out to be outstanding. It should drink well for 10-15 years.

James Suckling

A pretty red with dried-cherry and flower character, plus hints of lemons. Medium body with a solid core of fruit and bright acidity.

Decanter Magazine

Mainly young-vine Cabernet Franc (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%). Long, fresh and appetising but less depth than usual.

Andreas Larsson - Tasted

Good intensity of fruit, blackberry, fine oak and mild spices on the nose. Good volume, fresh dark fruit, rounded texture, bright freshness, rather long and elegant finish.

Wine Enthusiast

A perfumed, smoky wine, this boasts a firm line of tannins that gives the wine weight and concentration. It's rich and solidly structured while remaining deliciously fruity.
