With a strong opening from its floral character, the perfume quickly moves to its black raspberry, espresso, and earthy side. The lushness in the fruits, freshness in the mid-palate, and salty, crushed stone character in the finish all work in harmony this year. This is the best vintage of Chateau Chauvin ever produced. Drink from 2026-2042. 92-94 Pts.

91 vvPunkte / (78% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon) Offene, leicht vegetabile Nase, Kräuter, Paprika, dunkle und rote Beeren, florale Töne. Im Gaumen frisch, lebendig, mit wiederum einem krautigen Touch, merklich Tannin und einem rotfruchtigen Finish. Lebhaft, muss sich noch finden.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Fresh black plums, very slight tarragon, almost a little lavender, dusty and woody spices, in support, slightly sour and meaty on the palate with lots of drying woody, chalky and coarse tannic grip. Fruit is lost beneath this. Meh.
