Critic reviews
"Offering up aromas of minty cassis, dark berries and pencil shavings, the 2023 Chasse-Spleen is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and youthfully structured, with good depth at the core and a penetrating finish. It's a strong effort."
William Kelley, April 2024, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Chasse-Spleen has a very promising bouquet that is well-defined with black fruit, cedar and tobacco scents, less floral than it showed from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with black fruit, black pepper and tobacco notes, just tapering away marginally toward the finish. But there is freshness here, and it should age well in bottle."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Chasse-Spleen is terrific. Aromatic, medium in body and nuanced, the 2023 packs quite a bit of intensity into its mid-weight frame. Floral and savory top notes cut through a core of brilliant red-toned fruit. Brisk acids that pull it all together on the finish. This is beautifully done."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Black currants, chocolate and cedar with an herbal undertone. The palate is medium-bodied, chiseled and elegant, with a delicate yet consistent thread of fruit and focused tannins. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 10% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc. Approachable now with aeration and food. A lovely expression. Drink now or hold."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Fennel, raspberry leaf, iris flowers, dried cranberry. 40% new oak. 34hl/ha. This is a superbly located estate, not quite delivery on the joyful potential of the vintage. One point downscore."
