Récolte en baisse de 40%. Aromatique classique, sur les baies noires, la réglisse, avec une touche de bois séveux, que l’on retrouve en bouche. Tanins travaillés avec doigté. Vin sur la fraîcheur et la tension plus que la chair, droit.

The 2017 Chasse-Spleen is bold and a bit rough around the edges, but it also has quite a bit of depth. Dark red and black stone fruit, leather, smoke, tobacco, chocolate and charcoal embers give the 2017 its dark, somewhat somber personality. Although not totally put together just yet, the 2017 appears to have good potential.

Crisp and peppery, the cassis has a juicy quality that carries through to the classically styled finish.

The 2017 Chasse-Spleen is a wine that I encountered two or three times during my tastings. I have a lot of admiration for this property however, every time I found evidence of under-ripeness on the nose that fed through onto the palate, whilst the finish is rather astringent. After great wines in both 2015 and 2016, the 2017 seems compromised by the growing season.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Chasse-Spleen has a nose of baked blackberries and plum preserves with tapenade and hoisin hints. The mouth is medium-bodied, firm and chewy with a slightly lean mid-palate and short finish.

A tightly wound and layered Chasse-Spleen showing plenty of red fruit sandwiched between firm yet round tannins and driven through by pretty acidity to a medium chewy finish.
