About Château Chauvin 2016
Bottle (75cl)

Château Chauvin is a Grand Cru Classé surrounded by a small vineyard of 15 hectares in the heart of the Saint Emilion appellation, planted with vines of 15 years old on average. The vineyard has a soil of sandy-clay and is planted with 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Château Chauvin's 2016 vintage benefits from ageing in oak barrels (60% are new) which will last about 18 months.

Château Chauvin 2016 is dressed in a deep and intense robe.
On the nose, it offers an elegant bouquet with aromas of black fruits (especially blackberries) and more vegetal scents of iris and laurel.
On the palate, Chauvin 2016 distils complex and highly concentrated flavours of black fruits and tar. Endowed with a strong structure, it unveils a distinguished and soft tannic structure, conceived to a subtly spicy finish.

Château Chauvin's 2016 vintage is undoubtedly one of the best recent vintages on the estate.
