Tasting notes

“As usual, Chauvin’s 2013 is a fruit-forward, fleshy style of wine. It offers a dark ruby color, a round, fruity personality with good depth, and 4-5 years of drinkability.”

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate:
85-87/100

“Pleasant and easy to drink, this lighter styled wine will offer its cherry and spice profile on release.”

Jeff Leve/The Wine Cellar Insider :
87-89/100
