2018 Chapelle d'Ausone, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Sealed 6 Bottle Original Wood Case

Chapelle d’Ausone is produced by the Vauthier family, whose stewardship of this historic estate in the Saint-Émilion appellation spans several generations. This wine is made from a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from younger vines planted in the estate's characteristic clay-limestone soils. It delivers focused aromas of black cherry, graphite, and dried herbs, supported by a texture that is dense yet balanced by refined, silky tannins. The 2018 vintage provided a hot, dry summer that encouraged full fruit ripeness while the limestone plateau helped maintain essential freshness. This bottling offers an accessible entry into the estate’s house style and is built to age gracefully over the next two decades.
