Vinous - Neal Martin (95)The 2016 Chapelle d’Ausone offers intense black cherries, raspberry coulis and marmalade aromas on the nose, manifesting more delineation in the glass over the course of 10–15 minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, very pure black fruit and tangible mineralité and tension on the finish. This is pure class, a wine of nobility and deliciousness. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. |

Today we would like to draw your attention to the brilliant second wine of St. Emilion's legendary Château Ausone. Making shockwaves alongside its peer Cheval Blanc with the recent announcement that the two original St-Émilion First Growths would be withdrawing from the classification system, wine lovers have known for centuries that Ausone suffers few rivals from either Bank regardless of labelling.
