Chauvin - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2019

Wine Advocate

90-92 / 100

par Lisa Perrotti-Brown le 15/07/2020

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Chauvin slowly unfurls to offers glimpses at a gorgeous blackberry pie, Morello cherries and plum preserves perfume with underling notions of star anise, cardamom, cedar chest and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm structure of grainy tannins and a lively line of freshness cutting through the earthy layers, finishing on a mineral note.

The 2019 Chauvin is a wine of density and power. Dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice and French oak all open up in the glass. The 2019 is forward - even brash at times - but it has tons of personality and character. Chauvin is a Saint-Émilion that demands attention. In a word: terrific. Tasted two times.

I don't think the 2019 Château Chauvin is going to match the 2018, but it should easily be an outstanding wine and shows the elegance of the vintage. Beautiful notes of black raspberries, mulberries, leafy herbs, and dusty spice emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, seamless, and light on its feet on the palate. I'd like to see a touch more oomph, but I certainly love its balance and purity as well as its silky tannins. Tasted twice.

The 2019 Chauvin offers crisp blackberry and raspberry scents on the nose, rose petal and crushed stone joining the fray with continued aeration. It is understated but very precise. The palate is defined by chalky tannins, very well pitched acidity and hints of brown spices and cocoa judiciously sprinkled over the fruit. This is a superb Chauvin, maybe the best I have tasted in recent years.

par Peter Moser le 15/06/2020

“Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Etwas zurückhaltend, reife Herzkirschen, dunkle Waldbeeren unterlegt, ein Hauch von Nougat. Saftig, rotbeerig, frisch strukturiert, integrierte Tannine, zarter Schokoanklang, mineralischer Nachhall, verfügt über Reifepotenzial.”

Robe limpide, pimpante, sur un bouquet de fruits acidulés dont la grenade. Un côte´ classique, assez élégant, expression dense moyenne, bonne concentration, tanins assez nobles, juste enrobants, matière de soie fine, quelques notes de cacao, de fraise, de groseille. À apprécier pour son approche aérienne. Solaire, son élevage devra soutenir la fraîcheur.

Beaucoup de finesse et de subtilité dans ce bouquet. Invitantes notes de bois de réglisse et de myrtilles suivies de nuances de café. Attaque friande et le´gèrement cre´meuse. En bouche c’est l’e´quilibre qui prime grâce à une bonne symbiose entre les tannins et la structure. L’ensemble va encore gagner en expression aromatique au fil de l’e´levage. Un Château Chauvin prometteur.

par Jane Anson le 11/06/2020

An impressive wine that feels very true to the estate, with plenty of St Emilion signature - plump rich fruits and grilled oak without being overblown. Elegant, restrained with well placed blackberry and cherry, this really unrolls in the glass and is extremely enjoyable. There is twice as much Cabernet Franc as usual in the blend of the first wine, and it shows in the tension and lift through the finish. HVE3-certified. 60% new oak. Harvest September 26 to October 11.

Medium-bodied, fresh, bright, crisp and juicy, with a focus on its red fruit, licorice, smoke and earthy character. Give this a few years in the cellar for it to further flesh out and soften. 89-91 Pts

A layered red with dark berries, chocolate and crushed stone with some white-pepper character. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. Like the layers to this.
