Chateau Chauvin, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2015

Château Chauvin was acquired by Sylvie Cazes in May 2014. This beautiful estate of 15 hectares is located in the north-west part of Saint-Émilion, close to the Pomerol appellation.

" From an estate recently purchased by Sylvie Cazes, who is renovating the estate, the 2015 Château Chauvin checks in as a blend of 80% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, from sandy/clay soils, that was brought up in 60% new barrels. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a pure, elegant bouquet of crème de cassis, damp earth, candle wax, and spring flowers. Rich, concentrated, and seamless on the palate, with terrific elegance, it has ripe, present tannin, good acidity, and is going to age beautifully." Jeb Dunnuck 92+
