The level of richness and fruit power captured in this elegant, silky St.-Emilion is impressive. Dark plums, roasted coffee and baking spices are wrapped up in solid, silky tannins. Great depth. Best from 2020.

Decanter, December 2017

Chauvin's vines are located in northwest St-Émilion, close to Pomerol. The property was bought by Sylvie Cazes in 2014. This is tight and fairly austere at the moment, but has rich fruit and full tannins. A very enjoyable...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2018

The 2015 Chauvin is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and earthy on the nose with bay leaves, warm plums, underbrush, baked cherries and menthol aromas. The medium to full-bodied mouth is firm and chewy, a little taut...

The 2015 Chauvin is showing very well today. Floral notes add brightness to the red berry fruit. The 2015 offers terrific depth to go along with its powerful personality. Searing tannins are present, but also nearly...

The 2015 Chauvin from Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, is a Bordeaux Blend composed of 80% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is red in color and comes with a cork closure. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this wine offers a rich and appealing profile that has garnered positive reviews from several respected wine critics.

James Suckling awarded the wine an impressive 94 points, noting, “The level of richness and fruit power captured in this elegant, silky St.-Emilion is impressive. Dark plums, roasted coffee, and baking spices are wrapped up in solid, silky tannins. Great depth. Best from 2020.” This high praise underscores the wine's complexity and aging potential.

Jeb Dunnuck also provided a favorable review, scoring the wine 92 points. He described it as, “a pure, elegant bouquet of crème de cassis, damp earth, candle wax, and spring flowers. Rich, concentrated, and seamless on the palate, with terrific elegance, it has ripe, present tannin, good acidity, and is going to age beautifully.” Dunnuck’s review highlights the wine's balanced structure and potential for further development.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, via Lisa Perrotti-Brown, gave the wine 91 points. She described it as “medium to deep garnet-purple in color and earthy on the nose with bay leaves, warm plums, underbrush, baked cherries, and menthol aromas. The medium to full-bodied mouth is firm and chewy, a little taut but packed with flavor layers and finishing with an herbal lift.” This review points to the wine's layered complexity and robust flavor profile.

Vinous also rated the wine 91 points, stating, “The 2015 offers terrific depth to go along with its powerful personality. Searing tannins are present, but also nearly buried by the fruit. Some slightly angular contours remain, but the Chauvin is nicely done.” The review acknowledges both the wine's depth and its tannic structure.

Decanter gave a 92-point score, noting the wine’s origins from northwest St-Émilion and its tight, austere character balanced by rich fruit and full tannins.

Overall, the 2015 Chauvin is a well-received Bordeaux blend with excellent aging potential, offering a complex bouquet and a robust, layered palate.
