Saturated and intense, this stunning second wine bursts with black cherry, blueberry, iodine and crushed stone. Medium to full-bodied, it offers the luxurious texture and finesse associated with Château Ausone, lifted by vibrant acidity and mineral depth. 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon combine to create a richly textured, supple yet structured palate. Layers of graphite, spice and violet linger beautifully on the finish, revealing the pedigree of one of Bordeaux’s great terroirs.

Critic reviews

Wine Enthusiast, 96/100

The second wine of Château Ausone, always produced in limited quantities, provides a fine echo of the top wine. Bold tannins and fine perfumes give this wine richness and excellent potential. Layers of black fruits are impeccable, right in the balance with the wine's texture. This will certainly age, drinkable from 2026.

Jeb Dunnock, 95/100

The 2018 Chapelle D'Ausone is another second wine that can easily compete with most estates' top wines. Coming from a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that will spend 20 months in oak, it tastes like a mini Château Ausone with its beautiful limestone minerality and sweet black fruits, spice, and graphite aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, concentrated, with building structure, it's a serious second wine that's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.

James Suckling, 95/100

A red with black berry, blue berry, iodine, muscle shell and hot stone character on both the nose and palate. It's full-bodied and very tight with a compact palate of beautiful fruit with a minerally undertone. Very long and polished. Fine yet structure. Try after 2025.
