Chateau Chauvin 2024

ANSON: "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."

FALSTAFF: "Kräftiges Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Herzkirschen, etwas Nougat, zart nach Pflaumen, dezente Kräuterwürze. Saftig, rote Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch, ein lebendiger, schlanker Speisenbegleiter."
