Folie de Chauvin 2019 hails from the Bordeaux region, specifically crafted as the second wine by the esteemed Château Chauvin, a property with a rich winemaking heritage established in the 18th century. This wine comprises predominantly Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate reveals flavours of dark fruits, subtle tannins, and a balanced acidity, reflecting its terroir. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in French oak barrels, allowing for nuanced development. A study in traditional Bordeaux craftsmanship.
