Chateau Chasse-Spleen

Notes of cassis and blackberry fruit with aromas of pencil shaving, cedar and hints of smoke. Supple in texture with taut structure, finishing with restrained elegance, freshness and juicy tannins.

"Inky black. Intense, rich cassis on the nose, but also dark and savoury, not sweet-fruited. Firm, dry, dense tannins. This is all about the tannins – they are dominant but should become smooth with time and there's enough fruit to keep up."
Drink 2025 - 2035.
16.5/20 Jancis Robinson

"Offering up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil lead and licorice, the 2019 Chasse-Spleen is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish with a very civilized expression of Moulis-typical grip. Forget it for a decade and follow it for the next two." Drink 2029 - 2049.
