drink-now2000 Chapelle d'Ausone, St Emilion

Proprietor Vauthier's second wine, the 2004 Chapelle d'Ausone (400 cases produced) is a beautiful effort. It may be the finest second wine currently being made in Bordeaux. It displays much of the same character as its bigger sibling, with sweeter tannins, a softer, more plush personality, and more accessibility. A liquid minerality intermixed with blue and black fruits as well as floral notes are all present. Drink this beauty over the next 15 or more years. (www.erobertparker.com)
