Chateau Chauvin, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2014 Stillwater Creek Vineyard 30% Cabernet SauvignonThis is the first vintage of this new purchase by Sylvie Cazes, a leading figure in the Bordeaux wine scene. A classed growth, it's richly fruity yet structured and firm, with dense tannins and layers of delicious black fruit. With its tannins still well at the fore, it will need to age further, so drink from 2022. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
