Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Chauvin rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notions of spiced black plums, blackberry preserves and mulberries with hints of clove oil and incense. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers loads of juicy black fruit flavors with a soft texture and just enough freshness, finishing spicy.

This fruit-driven, full-bodied, opulent St.-Emilion from Madame Ondet has a dense ruby/purple color, plenty of fruit and body, and rich black and red fruits. Drink it over the next decade.

Château Chauvin is a notable wine estate located in the Saint-Émilion appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, France. It has a rich history and has been producing wines under the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru classification.

**Location and Terroir:**
Château Chauvin's vineyards are situated in the northwestern part of Saint-Émilion, close to the prestigious Pomerol border where some of the most esteemed estates like Château Cheval Blanc and Château Figeac are located. The terroir of Château Chauvin benefits from a mix of clay and gravel soils, which are excellent for growing Merlot, the predominant grape variety in the region. This soil composition helps in retaining moisture during dry periods and provides sufficient drainage during wetter seasons.

**Vineyards and Grape Varieties:**
The estate covers approximately 15 hectares (about 37 acres) of vineyards, predominantly planted with Merlot, which accounts for about 75% of their vines. The remaining plantings include Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are typical for the blend of Saint-Émilion wines. These varieties contribute to the structure, complexity, and aging potential of the wines.

**Winemaking:**
Château Chauvin focuses on producing high-quality wines that reflect the characteristics of their terroir. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, such as hand harvesting and selective sorting, to ensure that only the best grapes are used. Fermentation usually takes place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels to integrate flavors and add complexity to the wines.

**Wine Style and Characteristics:**
The wines of Château Chauvin are known for their richness, depth, and elegance. They typically display aromas and flavors of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, along with notes of spice, licorice, and sometimes a hint of floral from the Cabernet Franc. The palate is well-structured with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a lengthy finish, showcasing the typical Saint-Émilion profile that balances power with finesse.

**Recent Developments:**
The estate has seen significant investments and improvements in both viticulture and winemaking techniques in recent years, particularly after it was acquired by new owners. These changes are aimed at enhancing the quality of the wine and ensuring that Château Chauvin continues to produce distinguished and highly regarded Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines.

Château Chauvin is a respected name in Bordeaux, appreciated for its dedication to quality and its characteristic expression of the Saint-Émilion terroir. Its wines are enjoyed by Bordeaux enthusiasts around the world and are often noted for their potential to age gracefully.
