Folie de Chauvin Saint Emilion 2014

Sylvie Cazes is a Bordeaux powerhouse. Not only is she a member of the family that own Chateau Lynch-Bages but she was also the first woman to hold the post of President of the prestigious Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. If that wasn't enough, she also runs a luxury wine tourism agency and one of the region’s oldest and most highly respected restaurants, Le Chapon Fin. So, it's safe to say she knows a thing or two about Bordeaux wine, gastronomy and the finer things in life.

This is the very first vintage she produced of the property’s second wine, Folie de Chauvin. Although it comes from the estate’s youngest vines, it’s an incredibly accomplished piece of winemaking. Pure pleasure in a bottle, it’s fresh and round with blackberry, blueberry, plum and cherry fruit, not to mention undertones of truffle, oak, toast and tobacco. Definitely a winery to watch and a classic Right Bank red.
