2021 Château Chasse Spleen

The 2021 Chasse-Spleen is a soft, easygoing Moulis that will drink well on release. Plush, sensual and enveloping, the 2021 is all charm. Succulent red cherry, spice, tobacco, blood orange and leather fill out this layers. This plump, juicy 2021 is all pleasure.

Spicy red and black fruits, cedar pencil, and leafy herb notes all emerge from the 2021 Château Chasse-Spleen, another charming, mid-weight, yet elegant 2021 that has soft, nicely integrated tannins and a good finish. Drink bottles over the coming decade or so. (04/2024)

The 2021 Chasse-Spleen has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It is a tad subdued on the nose, offering broody notes of damp soil and bay leaves, before scents of redcurrant jelly and Morello cherry emerge. The medium-bodied palate has soft, well-managed tannins and plenty of freshness supporting the pure red berry fruit, finishing savory. (04/2024)

Offering up aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings and pipe tobacco, the 2021 Chasse-Spleen is medium-bodied, fleshy and polished, with a lively core of fruit, ripe tannins and a seamless profile, concluding with a delicately minty finish.
