Beaucoup d’élégance pour ce vin dont le crémeux habille la bouche avec ce qu’il faut de longueur et de style. Il témoigne des progrès de la propriété.

Die Frische des Cabernet Franc ist von Anfang an spürbar. Ich denke auch, dass die im lehmigen Sand vorhandenen Eisenkrusten sowie der lehmige Untergrund dazu beitragen! Der Wein wird zu 50 % in Tanks und zu 50 % in Fässern ausgebaut. Der Wein ist von Anfang an frisch und fruchtig und wird von bestens eingebundenen Tanninen und einer erfrischenden Säure unterstützt. Ein schmackhafter und saftiger Wein!

Ripe black cherries, new leather, graphite, and hints of framboise all emerge from the 2023 Château Chauvin, a medium to full-bodied, mineral-laced beauty revealing fine tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It brings good ripeness yet has a solid underlying sense of structure and tannic grip.

Chauvin (St Emilion; tasted at the Association des Grands Crus Classés at Dassault). A lovely quite distinct aromatic profile, very bright and energetic and exuberant, quite lifted and elegant but light on its feet, as it were. Dark berry fruits, a little loganberry – with its additional acidity and freshness – and Griotte cherry. White peppercorns. Almost a hint of mimosa. On the palate this has quite a narrow frame. A delicate and subtle wine with less flesh and substance than many, but that is more than compensated for by copious energy and a very crunchy fruit profile. Finishes on cassis and grape skin.

Espresso, licorice, and black cherry notes open the wine. The medium-bodied palate is soft, fragrant, and fresh, delivering a lot of sweet, though, firm, red fruits with energy, as well as a chalky texture on the palate, and in the finish. You can either enjoy this just about on release, or wait a bit, for more complexity. Drink from 2026-2038. 89-91 Pts.

Closed aromatics at this early stage, intense ruby red colour, plenty of structured tannins, good freshness, rose bud and tomato leaf, fairly serious in tone, combines cool climate aromatics with intensity of blackberry fruit and the squid ink that is a signature of the vintage. 10th anniversary of Sylvie Cazes and family at Chauvin, and a successful vintage here.

The 2023 Chauvin has a generous bouquet with ample redcurrant and strawberry fruit, although it needs a little more delineation and has a scintilla of over-ripeness. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins. This is quite a firm and structured Chauvin with a light dash of white pepper on the finish. Not bad, though I have found more refinement in other vintages.

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening at the edge. Fresh cherries, a hint of plums, nuances of dried fruit, candied orange zest. Juicy, red berryish nuanc- es, subtle fruit, ripe tannins, mineral and salty, fresh finish, lemony aftertaste.

A tight, focused and vivid red with a solid core of fruit and fine tannins. Attractive redcurrant and fresh berry character.
