Vieux Château Chauvin 1998

The wine

With its sandy-clay soil, Vieux Château Chauvin is a brand that was formerly regularly used by the previous owners as Château Chauvin's second wine. It presents complex aromas of black berries, spices and undergrowth, and a pronounced yet silky tannic structure.

About the Producer Vieux Château Chauvin

Formerly part of the fief of Corbin, Château Chauvin was separated in 1852, following an auction where it was acquired by Jean Fourcaud-Laussac, also owner of the Château Cheval Blanc. Later, in 1891, it was bought as a country house by Victor Ondet. In 1954, Château Chauvin stands out among the classification of Saint-Émilion crus, as it will be the case with each new edition of this classification. In 2014, the chateau changed hands following the purchase by Sylvie Cazes, also co-owner of the Château Lynch-Bages in Pauillac. The vineyard covers 15 hectares, planted with 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
