"These days, Chasse-Spleen is clearly one of the most exciting of the traditionalists to be found in all of Bordeaux. The 2007 Chasse-Spleen is another very well-made and classic bottle of claret, which was raised in thirty-five percent new oak this year and which will prove to be a lovely middleweight with a few years in the cellar. The nose offers up a deep and classy mélange of cassis, black raspberries, tobacco leaf, lovely soil tones, smoke and a very delicate touch of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and impressively complex, with lovely focus, fine mid-palate depth, very refined tannins and lovely length and grip on the poised and classically reserved finish. A really lovely example of the vintage."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
