About Chapelle d’Ausone

Chapelle d'Ausone is a biodynamic red wine made with the Merlot and Cabernet Franc varieties by Château d'Ausone in the prestigious AOC Saint-Émilion (France).
 
Château d'Ausone is a winery with a history strongly linked to the city of Saint Émilion. With vineyards that perfectly combine sun exposure with clay, limestone and sand soils, many think this is the best terroir in the region. If we add to this the wisdom of Alain Vauthier, the owner, and the experience of Pascal Delbeck, the winegrower, we find ourselves with a recipe for producing true works of art.   
 
Chapelle d'Ausone is made from the estate’s youngest vines. These vines have an average age of 50 years old and lie on the Saint Émilion limestone plateau. They are now cultivated by Alain's daughter, Pauline Vauthier, following the principles of biodynamic agriculture. The vine yields are limited and the harvest is carried out manually taking into account the lunar phases. 
 
Once the grape bunches have been selected, Chapelle d'Ausone macerates for 4-5 weeks and fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages for a minimum of 18 months in 225-litre new French oak barrels.
 
Made through the richness of an exceptional terroir, the second Château Ausone wine is broad and powerful with a great aging potential. The expression of a unique Bordeaux terroir.
