Reviews and Ratings

Simon Chen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I don't get to drink Bordeaux White that often but I really enjoyed this wine from Chateau Chasse-Spleen. It's a blend of Semillon and Sauv. Blanc. It has bright acidity plus a bit oil rounded structure that make it very balanced and harmonious.
Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crafted in a Graves-style, this Semillon dominant blend features a moderately intense nose of lanolin, lemon, toasted almonds, with floral hints upon aeration. The Sauvignon Blanc component comes to the fore on the palate, providing zesty acidity and a vibrant, juicy core. The texture is subtly creamy, owing to regular lees stirring over the 9 months of French oak ageing.

While pleasing overall, the price tag is a little stiff given the short finish and only moderate concentration.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
