Château CHAUVIN 2016
Château Chauvin is located north-west of Saint-Émilion, near the Pomerol appellation, in Bordeaux. It was created in 1852 when Corbin’s former grand fiefdom was divided at an auction. In 1891, Victor Ondet succumbed to the bourgeois fashion of the time and bought the Chauvin estate. Under the influence of Henri Ondet in 1954, Château Chauvin obtained for the first time its place in the classification of Saint-Émilion crus. In 2014, Sylvie Cazes and her children Julie, Pierre and François Régimbeau acquired Château Chauvin and entrusted the technical responsibility of the property to Philippe Moureau, who began a program to restructure viticultural methods and winemaking.
Château Chauvin 2016 is a blend of Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) with an average age of 30 years. The grapes come from the 15-hectare vineyard in one piece. The wine is aged in barrels for 16 months, with 60% new barrels and 40% barrels of one wine.
Grape varieties: 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
