Chateau Chasse-Spleen 2021

James Suckling:

Medium-bodied with chewy tannins and an array of spiced-fruit, hazelnut and cocoa notes. Pleasant, savory finish. From organically grown grapes.

Decanter:

Aromatic rose petals on the nose. This has a juicy, bright core, that gentle succulence where your mouth instantly waters from the acidity but you also get a mouthful of summer berry fruit at the same time. I like this a lot, the fruit feels well worked and delivered with poise and energy, and the chalky and salty tannins provide just the right grip on the palate. It's not the most expansive right now, but feels classy with hints of glamour and I love the mentholated, liquorice touch at the end.
