About this Wine

Château Ausone, Premier Grand Cru Classé A of Saint-Emilion, is one of the oldest properties in the Bordeaux vineyards. Its Second Wine, Chapelle d'Ausone, is also renowned.

According to history, the vineyard occupies the site of the magnificent villa belonging to the poet and proconsul Ausone in Lucaniac (Saint-Emilion), hence its name. For several centuries, this vineyard has remained in the same family, which has allowed the preservation of very old vines. Today, the heirs of Madame Cécile Vauthier continue her work with passion, year after year.

Chapelle d'Ausone, the Second Wine of the prestigious Château Ausone, offers a remarkable performance that testifies to the excellence of this renowned estate. Made from carefully selected vines grown in accordance with tradition, Chapelle d'Ausone embodies the elegance and finesse of the great wines of Saint-Emilion.

With its deep colour and captivating aromatic bouquet, this wine reveals seductive aromas of ripe red fruits, delicate spices and floral notes. On the palate, its velvety texture and supple tannins offer a harmonious and balanced taste experience.

Chapelle d'Ausone seduces with its complexity and length on the palate, leaving a lasting impression and an undeniable taste pleasure. Whether in its youth or after a few years of cellaring, this wine expresses its full potential and its ability to evolve with grace.

As the Second Wine of Château Ausone, Chapelle d'Ausone represents a real opportunity to discover and appreciate the essence of this prestigious estate through a wine of exceptional quality.

Wines from Bordeaux

Bordeaux is in the south west of France and is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. It is the largest wine producing region in France, the vast majority being red wines. While it does make large quantities of everyday table wine, outside of Europe, it is mostly noted for producing some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world.

The Garonne and Dordogne rivers run through the region and together naturally irrigate the land while the soils are rich in calcium owing to their limestone content. These two rivers connect and run through to the Atlantic Ocean splitting Bordeaux into 3 distinct parts. We have the left bank, the right bank, and the area between the two rivers called Entre-Deux-Mers.

While in Australia we often see straight Shiraz, Cabernet or Merlots, Bordeaux does not generally produce red wine without blending. The “Bordeaux Blend” is one of the most classic and popular styles of red wine that has spread throughout France as well as throughout the New World.

On the left bank, typical top-quality blends are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. On the right bank top quality blends are typically made of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

In general you can expect red wines from Bordeaux to taste more earthy in flavour compared to those from the New World wine regions that tend to be more fruit flavour driven.
