Masterful left-bank Bordeaux with great ageing potential

Opens with intense aromatics of fresh cassis, vanilla and dried rose petals. Firm and dry on the palate with a fleshy core of dark cherry, blackberry and plums along with notes of liquorice, mint and fresh pencil shavings. Generously rounded off with a savoury and persistent finish.

A wine with incredible potential, it is drinking well now but will starting hitting its peak from 2025. Chasse-Spleen can be translated as "forget-me-not" or "to chase away the blues".
