Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

CHÂTEAU CHASSE SPLEEN
The practice of allocating certain vineyard parcels to the grand vin or the second wine involves tasting the grapes. Indeed, the juice of a grape can vary from year to year, even though the soil remains the same.
The terroir of Chasse-Spleen consists of two types of soils: gravel over an argilo-calcareous subsoil and clay over limestone.
The amount of rainfall and sunshine in a given year will impart different characteristics to the berries grown on these various terrains.
