2017 Chapelle d'Ausone, St-Emilion Grand Cru

2017 Chapelle d'Ausone, St-Emilion Grand Cru

Nice juicy fruit, very cool and crunchy with good density. The balance and structure are impressive here, and there's some fresh minerality on the palate.

Tasting notes

Deep purple crimson. Smoky, charry oak over pure dark fruit, the fruit just wins out in the aroma. Pure cassis. Lovely concentrated juicy cassis on the palate and wonderfully smooth and rounded but no lack of structure. Terrific freshness and length.

17/20

Very minerally with lots of salt and white-pepper character that complements pure and dark fruits. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a linear finish.
