Château Chauvin - 2000 - Château Chauvin
Ref: A041500
Grand Cru Classé St. Emilion

A particularly interesting property neighbouring Cheval Blanc which, in the eyes of some critics, possibly makes wiine as fine as its illustrious neighbour in certain years. With an intense deep purple colour, there is very subtle oaking here allowing the blackberry fruit to dominate with aristocratic fine grain tannins and an amazing finish. There is so much complexity here that we had to re-taste several times over to make sure that we weren't being overtaken by the wine's voluptuousness. This is definitely one of the star value buys of the vintage. Drink 2008 to 2018.

Château Chauvin has been a Grand Cru Classé since 1954 and is situated on the border between St. Emilion and Pomerol, near Cheval Blanc. The property is small - only 15 hectares - and is owned by Marie-France and Béatrice Ondet, great granddaughters of Victor Ondet who bought the property in 1891. Michel Rolland oversees the wine production. They produce supple, elegant wines with great finesse. Stylistically almost a St. Emilion/Pomerol cross.
