Note di degustazione
An example of terroir taking precedence over vintage, as this La Chapelle soars out of the glass even in the under-estimated 2011 vintage. Layered and fragrant, ready to go, surprisingly concentrated still at 14 years old, pomegranate and red cherry fruits against tobacco leaf and white tea.

The 2011 Chapelle d’Ausone has a well-defined, quite focused bouquet with high-toned but precise red berry fruit, crushed stone and rose petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, lifted red berry fruit laced with truffle, black pepper and a touch of clove. Lovely cohesion on the finish, this is an excellent 2011 that is ageing with style. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
Tasted blind. Healthy fruit on the nose. Pale rim. A bit lacklustre but nothing out of balance. Where’s the beef? (JR)
Ripe and dark and peppery. Chewy but finely textured. Savoury, really embryonic but lots of lovely dark fruit to fill out a taut, upright structure. Shows its class. (JH)
