Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Château Chasse Spleen, Médoc, 2000
ABV:
13%
85-88/100
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Good medium ruby. Aromatic nose combines crystallized blackberry, cassis, shoe polish and mint. Tight, firm and rather ungiving in the mouth, with moderately ripe, muscular flavors of cassis, licorice and shoe polish. Doesn't quite deliver the flavor interest promised by the nose.

Château Chasse Spleen

Château Chasse Spleen

Chasse Spleen is a Cru Bourgeois in the Moulis appellation. It vies with the likes of Poujeaux for the number one spot in this southern Médoc commune that is home to a number of great value clarets. Often tannic in their youth, the wines do need 6 or 8 years in the bottle before reaching maturity, but thereafter they can age very well indeed. This estate was particularly successful in the magnificent 2009 and 2010 vintages and the trend is towards a more accessible, earlier drinking style.
