Wine Enthusiast: "92–94. Barrel Sample. Packed with ripe, dense fruits, this wine is structured and full of black plum flavors. It is rich while guarding the freshness of the vintage. The wine is already well balanced."

Decanter: "Dark chocolate touches on the nose are so appealing with violets and blackcurrants. Juicy and lively at first with the liquorice and clove elements just closing the palate slightly into a more focused and linear style, rather than being overly expansive. Tannins are fine and soft, and this has a lovely graceful appeal despite the cool, austere touches, giving it a closed feel right now. Michel Rolland consultancy."
90-92
Dunnuck: "The 2021 Château Chauvin will be terrific and is certainly outstanding. Giving up a subtle yet impressive bouquet of both red and black fruits as well as spicy oak, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. Give it a few years and it should evolve for 15+."
90-92
Neal Martin: "The 2021 Chauvin has a well-defined bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, sous-bois and tobacco scents, though
it needs time to coalesce in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rigid tannins, quite
masculine, and a little austere in style, but there is adequate freshness on the finish. Give this 4–5 years in bottle."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig, rote Kirschen, Preiselbeeren, dezente mineralische Nuancen. Schlank, rote Kirschen, rassiger Säurebogen, gut integrierte Tannine, zart nach Nelken, salziger Abgang."
