89 - 91: 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.

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.

57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Run by the Villars family, with Bernadette taking over in 1976, and now with daughters Claire and Celine involved.
Quite a classic bordeaux feel to this. A little more sturdy than some in 2023, but you feel this has the potential to develop very nicely. Firm tannins and wood still evident. But there is concentration and purity to admire. Always a good-value, classic example of the bordeaux style and this year will be no different. (AWH)

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.
