Tasting notes
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.

(a 50/50 blend of merlot and cabernet franc) Good deep color. Aromas and flavors of black fruits and minerals, lifted by spices and violet. Still a bit reduced but offers lovely sweetness of fruit and vivacity for the year. Finishes with very good cut and length. A terrific second wine, nicely rounded out by the addition of press wine.
50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot. Mid to dark crimson. Very heady and full. Round and not at all concentrated. A little green on the finish. Pretty angular. Nothing like as good as Petit Cheval. Angular. Maybe very slightly too much new oak? (JR)
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.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010
