A smooth wine, rich for the vintage, with black currant and bright fruits and a strong underlay of wood. The acidity, though, is quite striking, with the freshest fruit and tight tannins.

Ausone's second wine, the 2007 Chapelle d-Ausone, is a delicious, crisp, crunchy effort revealing lots of minerality along with raspberry and black cherry characteristics, a supple texture, and delicious flavors similar to its more famous sibling.

Sweet berry and floral aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a caressing finish. A pretty second wine in this vintage. Best after 2011. 710 cases made.
