Chasse-Spleen 2020

Chasse-Spleen

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 94.0

With a name that translates as “chase away the blues”, Château Chasse-Spleen delivers big promises, and its breath-taking wine certainly does not disappoint. Typically dark coloured and full-bodied, Chasse-Spleen includes a lavish concoction of plump black fruits, piquant minerality and occasional dashes of chocolate. This alchemic combination of flavours is the result of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (c.65%), Merlot (c.30%) and Petit Verdot (c.5%) which is matured in 40% new oak barrels for 18 months before being bottled unfiltered. One of the leading estates in Moulis, Chasse-Spleen have continued to create noteworthy wines that grow from strength to strength.

The 2020 Château Chasse-Spleen shows the appellation as well as the vintage nicely. Ripe cherries, leafy herbs, cedarwood, and some earthy notes all define the aromatics, and its medium-bodied, with a round, soft mouthfeel and a good finish. Its perfect for enjoying any time over the coming decade.

Deep cherry red. Subtle aroma of lead pencils, dark-fruited and attractively leafy. More fragrant with air. Some oak sweetness on the palate balances the herbaceous notes, though they are quite marked on the finish. Extremely gentle tannins and lots of freshness. (JH)
