Technical Sheet


Jane Anson: 93 Punkte

"Vivid ruby with violet reflections, fragrant aromatics delivering peony and cassis puree, slate, pummice, the edge of savoury that is mouthwatering with subtle depths. Less density than many vintages, but so well handled, just totally delicious. Unusual blend with only Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, harvest 4 and 5 October. Philippe Baillarguet cellar master." (04/2025)


Falstaff: 92 Punkte

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart floral unterlegte rote Waldbeerfrucht, Mandarinenzesten, ein Hauch von Ribisel. Schlank, feine Mineralität, rote Kirschen im Abgang, ein zarter, delikater Stil, bereits gut antrinkbar." - Peter Moser (04/2025)


Vinum: 94 Punkte 

"Viel Cabernet-Würze in der Nase und mit Rasse und Präzision am Gaumen, mittlerer Körper, knackige Frucht, leichtfüssig, beschwingt, mit Frische und einer eindrücklichen Länge. Macht Lust auf den Grand Vin." (04/2025)


Yves Beck: 94-96 Punkte 

"Chapelle besteht zu 100 % aus Cabernets! Eine sehr seltene Kombination. Das Bouquet ist würzig, fruchtig, sehr rein ! Viele rote Früchte. Der Wein hat Fülle und Finesse. Er schafft so die Symbiose zwischen der Kraft samtiger Tannine und der Spannung des Cabernet. Das Ergebnis ist ein harmonischer, eleganter Wein, der erobert und Freude bereitet, wenn man sich auf seinen großen Bruder bezieht! Was für ein herrlicher Wein!" (04/2025) 


The Drinks Business: 92-94 Punkte 

"This is pure Cabernet, as in 2021. And it’s sublime. A little closed and introspective at first but really enticing – with a lovely leafiness to the cassis, bramble and black berry fruits. Cedar wafts through the fruits with or without aeration after the passage of time. There’s iris, a touch of lily of the valley, saffron too. So pure and gracious, with just the optimal degree of freshness – bringing considerable precision and focus to the fruits. This is pixilated and detailed and delineated, like a mirror held up to the perfection of the fruit. Gracious and lithe, limpid and sapid. A different style of Chapelle that is very respectful of the vintage. It is light and aerial but it fills out with aeration." - Colin Hay (04/2025)


Decanter: 93 Punkte

 "Lovely fragrance on the nose, so aromatic and expressive. Deep and nuanced with bright red berries, some blackcurrant leaf and violet touches. Structured and forward, this is lovely, a firm texture with hints of both chalkiness and fleshiness. Cool and fresh straight away with juiciness but really the stars here are the structure and gentle power pushing the wine forward. A different style but still just as juicy as the others. A little compact still but no doubt this will be a fine wine with delicious mineral undercurrents and some wet stones touches on the finish. Smart and sophisticated. A yield of 33hl/ha. 20% second wine. 3.5pH. Ageing 100% new oak. No Merlot in the blend this year." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)

The 2024 Chapelle d'Ausone, like the 2021, contains no Merlot. This is a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 20 months in new oak barrels. It has an intense bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, blueberry and light violet scents. This is finely delineated, although the 2022 was more complex. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, a linear style and more black fruit compared to say, La Clotte.

This is unique for the second wine of Ausone with no merlot this year. Medium-bodied, it builds on the palate, showing a volcanic-salt undertone and white-pepper character. Lightly chewy with some red tile. Spicy. A blend of 85% cabernet franc and 15% cabernet sauvignon. (04/2025)

A unique blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Chapelle D'Ausone has a pure, medium-bodied, wonderfully focused, lengthy style that builds nicely with time in the glass. Redcurrants, framboise, sappy spring flowers, and obvious minerality all define the aromatics, and it has nicely integrated acidity, some classy oak, and a great finish. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs some patient swirling to see past the cedary overtones, revealing fragrant red currant jelly, raspberry coulis, and pencil shavings notes, leading to hints of rose oil and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate is tight-knit with vibrant red berry flavors and firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and refreshing. Very pretty! All the Merlot went into the Ausone. 6000 bottles only will be made. (05/2025)

Due to poor flowering in the estate's Merlot holdings, the 2024 Chapelle d'Ausone is all-Cabernet this year. Offering up notes of sweet dark berries, mint, rose petals and spices, it's nicely integrated, with a medium-bodied, supple palate underpinned by a tangy spine of acidity.
