Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

Broodier than it appeared at the en primeur stage, the 2023 Chapelle d'Ausone reveals aromas of fresh licorice, gentian, dark berries and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it is built around a fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, culminating in a long, perfumed finish. The blend comprises 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

James Suckling (96)

Lots of chalky energy here, with a hint of cocoa powder to the rich, vibrant blackberries, dried herbs and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with tightly wound tannins, offering both restrained opulence and fresh structure. Very impressive. A blend of 60% cabernet franc, 35% merlot and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.

Vinous (93)

The 2023 Chapelle d'Ausone is high-class. Cabernet Franc makes up most of the blend, and yet what stands out most is the wine's exceptional balance. Silky contours add to an impression of total finesse. Crushed rose petal, cinnamon, new leather, cedar, and sweet pipe tobacco are all seamless in the glass. The 2023 is a compelling Chapelle.

Jeb Dunnuck (93)

The second wine of this brilliant château, the 2023 Chapelle D'Ausone checks in as a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon that was aged 20 months in new barrels. Juicy black cherries, classic chalky minerality, camphor, and graphite are just some of its nuances, and it's medium-bodied, focused, and juicy on the palate. It has fine, polished tannins, integrated oak, and ample classic Ausone character. Drink this beauty over the coming 15-20 years. Drink 2026-2045.
