Château Chasse-Spleen 2021: Characteristics and tasting tips

Tasting

Colour
This wine is a beautiful deep garnet colour.

Nose
The nose opens with refreshing fruity (red fruit), mentholated, spicy (curry) and floral (lime blossom) fragrances. The bouquet becomes more complex when aerated and reveals delicious aromas of blackcurrant and morello cherry, sustained by a subtle minerality.

Palate
A bold attack precedes a palate that harmoniously combines suppleness and power with very fine, even chalky tannins. The finish is enticingly lingering and rich.
