Chateau Chauvin

Château Chauvin is located to the north-west of Saint-Émilion, and close to the Pomerol appellation. Sylvie Cazes and her children bought Château Chauvin in May 2014. A major restructuring programme was quickly put in place involving the vineyard, viticultural methods and the winemaking. Sylvie is currently the president of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGCB). To be “chauvin” in French means to be proud of your land, to love your land.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
