Chapelle d'Ausone Premier Grand Cru

Château Ausone
France | Bordeaux | Saint-Emilion
Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2018 Chapelle d'Ausone Deep garnet purple in color, as impenetrable as its big brother, the Grand Vin, this wine is the precocious, striking younger brother. It leaps from the glass with bright, cheery scents of redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, plum compote and Black Forest gateau, which fade into hints of rose oil, dusty earth and garrigue. On the palate, it's packed with juicy black and red berries, framed by wonderfully ripe, fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness, with a long, fragrant finish. If money is no object, buy this and the Grand Vin. The 2018 Ausone will need a few more years to develop, but this second wine offers a good taste of the epic feast of a wine to come.
