James Suckling 90-91Medium-bodied with chewy tannins and an array of spiced-fruit, hazelnut and cocoa notes. Pleasant, savory finish. From organically grown grapes.
Wine Advocate 89-91
A strong effort, the 2021 Chasse-Spleen exhibits aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with pipe tobacco, loamy soil, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's lively and refined, with ripe tannins and a penetrating, saline finish. It's a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot, and only 55% of the estate's production went into the grand vin. William Kelley
