 Im Jahr 2014 wurde eine neue Seite im Buch der Geschichte dieses Weingut aufgeschlagen. Sylvie Cazes und ihre Kinder Julie, Pierre und François Régimbeau kauften Château Chauvin. Einer ihrer ersten Schritte war eine umfangreiche Analyse der Böden. Das Ziel: die beste Rebe für jeden Untergrund zu finden. Die Leitung des Betriebs übertrugen sie Philippe Moureau, der ein umfangreiches Programm für eine Restrukturierung der 15 Hektar Weinberge und der technischen Ausrüstung auflegte. Die Familie Cazes stellt das dafür nötige Kleingeld zur Verfügung. In der Cuvée finden sich 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc und 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
90-92 THE WINEADVOCATE: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Chauvin slowly unfurls to offers glimpses at a gorgeous blackberry pie, Morello cherries and plum preserves perfume with underling notions of star anise, cardamom, cedar chest and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm structure of grainy tannins and a lively line of freshness cutting through the earthy layers, finishing on a mineral note."
17 WEINWISSER: "Tiefes Purpurrot mit schwarzer Mitte. Charmantes Bouquet mit dunklen Kirschen, Schokopastillen und Rosmarin, dahinter schwarze Johannisbeerdrops. Am mittleren Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und reifem Extrakt, dann packen die Tannine zu und umschlingen den Körper. Im gebündelten Finale mazerierte Pflaumenhaut, Schlehensaft und Estragon. Eine deutliche Steigerung im Vergleich zu den vergangenen Jahren!"
91-93 WINE ENTHUSIAST: "A ripe, fruity and smoky wine, this is a solid example of this vintage. The black fruits are open and luscious, giving juicy berry flavors. The tannins lurk underneath where lies the power and aging potential. This Sylvie Cazes wine is all set for medium-term aging."
93-95 ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2019 Chauvin offers crisp blackberry and raspberry scents on the nose, rose petal and crushed stone joining the fray with continued aeration. It is understated but very precise. The palate is defined by chalky tannins, very well pitched acidity and hints of brown spices and cocoa judiciously sprinkled over the fruit. This is a superb Chauvin, maybe the best I have tasted in recent years." - Neal Martin
91-93 ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2019 Chauvin is a wine of density and power. Dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice and French oak all open up in the glass. The 2019 is forward - even brash at times - but it has tons of personality and character. Chauvin is a Saint-Émilion that demands attention. In a word: terrific. Tasted two times."
92-94 JEB DUNNUCK: "I don´t think the 2019 Château Chauvin is going to match the 2018, but it should easily be an outstanding wine and shows the elegance of the vintage. Beautiful notes of black raspberries, mulberries, leafy herbs, and dusty spice emerge from the glass, and it´s medium to full-bodied, seamless, and light on its feet on the palate. I´d like to see a touch more oomph, but I certainly love its balance and purity as well as its silky tannins. Tasted twice."
