The 2011 Chapelle d'Ausone is a textbook classic Saint-Émilion, offering excellent tension, energy, and structural precision. As the highly sought-after second wine of Château Ausone, it represents a more accessible entry into the estate's legendary terroir. It reveals a highly focused bouquet of pure black raspberry, cherry, crushed rocks, graphite, and signature violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is taut and well-structured, with a bright line of acidity cutting through the firm, powdery tannins. An intellectual, sophisticated, and highly rewarding Bordeaux.
