Heritage de Chasse-Spleen - Haut-Medoc 2022
From the historic estate of Château Chasse Spleen, the L’Héritage de Chasse Spleen is a beautiful second wine made with the same care as the grand vin. Advised by well-known oenologist Éric Boissenot, the team at this château continue to honour the traditions of the region with careful selection and controlled fermentation. Tearing out the weakest plots, the current owner Céline Villars does not wait for a wine to fade, but proactively regenerates her vineyards to maintain high quality production vintage after vintage.
A juicy and fine-grained Haut-Medoc with medium to full body and lots of dark cherries, currants and an engaging twist of pepper. This has structured, chalky tannins and a medium-long finish. Drink from 2026. 92 points, James Suckling.
