The 2013 Le Chapelle d’Auson is the result of a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, raised in 85% new oak, this has a light, floral bouquet with touches of rose petals infusing the dusty red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, pointed acidity and a simple, almost Left Bank style finish. Fine.
The 2019 Le Chapelle d’Ausone is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot, deep garnet-purple coloured. It gallops out with energetic notes of juicy blackberries, warm plums, and redcurrant jelly, plus suggestions of sassafras, cedar chest, menthol, and aniseed. Full-bodied, it is rich and spicy in the mouth with a lively backbone and super-fine tannins, finishing very long and fragrant.
