CHASSE SPLEEN 2016 MUSEUM RELEASE

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Possessing a viticultural estate, a spiritual place in essence, called Château Chasse-Spleen, means that we do have a lot to answer for. Philosophy -|We are also wary of not laying claim to the the naturalness of our wines.. Wine has been altered by man right from the start and thus cannot be categorized like this. It is fermented, worked and refined. It is in this very semantic interstice that its¿ magic occurs. Terroir is construed. However we are very careful not to call ourselves artists. We are producers of a luxury convenience and the short description - aesthete and good technician will suit us just fine.¿ CHASSE SPLEEN

The 2016 Chasse-Spleen has a very elegant bouquet with neatly integrated oak, the terroir really showing through here, hints of cedar and smoke emerging with time. The palate is fresh as a button on the entry. It is cut through with a superb line of acidity that engenders superb tension, the tannins firm but fine with a subtle marine influence towards the persistent finish. This is a fabulous Chasse-Spleen, the best I have ever tasted from the estate. NEAL MARTIN
