Tasting notes
Based on 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Château Chauvin displays a deep plum color and offers darker cherries, mulberries, spicy wood, and classic Saint-Émilion minerality. It's medium-bodied, has a focused, elegant mouthfeel, integrated tannins, and the juicy yet clean, integrated acidity of the vintage. It has outstanding potential. Tasted twice.

A fine wash of smoked oak, well measured, a little soft through the mid palate, but there are attractive brambled red fruits here, with raspberry leaf and peony aromatics. Captures the potential elegance of the vintage, no need to wait too long to begin drinking. Highest proportion to date of Cabernet Franc in the blend. Cazes-Regimbeau family, 17.5ha, Jérmémie Gravier technical director, 45% new oak for ageing, harvest September 24 to October 4.
The 2024 Chauvin has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherry and light raspberry fruit aromas alongside neatly integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins. It's firm in the mouth with a touch of bitterness on the finish. The 2024 doesn't quite have the "flow" of other vintages but hopefully this will knit together during its élevage.
A juicy, expressive St. Emilion with berries, plums and cherries. Fluid, fruit-forward and crunchy with medium body and nicely chewy tannins. Tight-grained in the finish.
