Tasting notes
"Chauvin produces a stylish wine, always exhibiting plenty of black cherry fruit intermixed with garrigue notes as well as hints of spice box and Christmas fruitcake in a medium to full-bodied, elegant yet savory and expansively textured style.”
Robert Parker/Wine Advocate :
90/100
« Ce cru classé trop méconnu est, comme souvent chez lui, impeccable ; boisé présent sans tapage, onctuosité, allonge toastée, généreux et séduisant, grande allonge suave et charmeuse. »
Bettane et Desseauve :
16-17/20
