Description

Chauvin 2019 shows remarkable elegance and freshness. There is twice as much Cabernet Franc in the blend of the first wine this year, and they express themselves wonderfully and bring complexity to the generous Merlots. The finesse of the ageing highlights a bright fruit and emphasizes the great balance of this vintage. The smallholding of Chauvin was previously part of the ancient grand fiefdom of Corbin. This fiefdom was divided into multiple properties at an auction in 1852, and some of these properties still bear the name Corbin today. Chauvin was then acquired by Jean Laussac-Fourcaud, son-in-law of Mr Ducasse, the President of the court of Libourne, who had just bought what was to become Château Cheval Blanc. On the death of their father Henri Ondet in 1989, Marie-France and Béatrice, worthy heirs to the determination and care of their ancestors, took over the management of Château Chauvin. For more than 20 years they put all their energy at the service of the property and increased investment. Sylvie Cazes and her children bought Château Chauvin in May 2014. They want to continue the work carried out by the Ondet family while giving Chauvin the assets needed to succeed in this new page in its history
