Château CHASSE-SPLEEN 2016

Description

Neal Martin 92-94 points www.vinous.com (ex. www.robertparker.com )
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. It could end up at the top of by banded score.

Rouge grenat aux reflets violacés. Bouquet fruité et épicé. Bonne intensité. Agréables notes de baies rouges et d’eucalyptus. Attaque friande et soyeuse. Le vin a de l’ampleur et des tannins granuleux qui se révèlent lentement en fin de bouche. La structure soutient bien la finale. Un vin qui a du potentiel pour aller dans le temps.
