Château Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru Chapelle d’Ausone 2009

Beautiful deep plum colour, a totally gorgeous 2009, silky and supple in its tannic structure, knitted together but you can hardly see a single stitch. Easy to drink now, but no rush – expect intensity and concentration among the sweet ripe fruits, juicy, sappy, tingling minerality, delivering exactly what you want 2009 to do. Winemaker/cellar master Philippe Baillarguet, overseen by Pauline Vauthier, 11th generation of the family, working with her father Alain, 100% new oak for ageing.
