Yves Beck Medium purplish purple. Elegant, filigree bouquet with notes of blueberries and cherry. Enjoyable attack. On the palate the wine is balanced and has a structure that holds the fruit and provides freshness. The wine is balanced, juicy and will already be appreciable in its youth. Its acidic structure also gives it potential. 2022–2032

James Suckling A tightly wound and layered Chasse-Spleen showing plenty of red fruit sandwiched between firm yet round tannins and driven through by pretty acidity to a medium chewy finish.

Decanter Clear cinnamon notes – the oak is certainly highly toasted, giving a swirl of glamor to the rich black cherry notes. There is ambition and delivery here, without too much extraction, but fruit is clearly not overly generous. Aged in 40% new oak. Drinking Window 2022 - 2034

Château Chasse-Spleen

In the 19th century, the property under the name of Grand Poujeaux was divided and Madame Castaing became the owner. She renamed the area “Chasse-Spleen” in reference to the collection “Les Fleurs du Mal”. In 1976, the Château and its 103 ha wine estate were bought by the Merlaut family.
