Discover Folie de Chauvin: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru's Second Label

As the distinguished second wine of Château Chauvin, a Saint-Émilion Classified Growth, Folie de Chauvin offers a remarkable opportunity to experience the essence of a top Right Bank Bordeaux. It captures the luxurious elegance and Merlot-driven richness of its famous estate, all while being accessible and ready to perform.

Pedigree and Terroir

Crafted predominantly from Merlot with a strategic addition of Cabernet Franc, the grapes are grown on the coveted clay and limestone soils that give Saint-Émilion its unique depth and finesse. The wine is vinified and aged to provide a beautiful balance between ripe, concentrated fruit and a smooth, integrated structure.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A striking, deep garnet hue.
• Aroma: Richly aromatic, featuring concentrated black fruit-think blackcurrant and dark plum-interwoven with classic Right Bank notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and subtle vanilla spice.
• Taste: The palate is generous and well-rounded, delivering a plush mouthfeel supported by polished, soft tannins. It’s wonderfully balanced, with a persistent, fresh finish that makes it immediately appealing yet cellar-worthy.

Food Pairing & Service

Perfect for a grand dinner party. Serve at 17°C (62°F) alongside classic British roast dishes.
