Roland Hankerson, JJ Buckley, April 2012

47.5% cabernet sauvignon, 43% merlot, 7.5% cabernet franc, and 2% petit verdot. The soils here are 80% gravel on chalk and 20% chalk and clay. Black pepper and rose petal aromas leap from the glass. Mouthwatering acidity on the palate leads into flavors of black cherry and plum, and a nice, long finish. Approachable a couple of years after release and over the following 7-10 years.

About Winery

Château Chasse-Spleen is the leading Moulis estate along with Château Poujeaux. Although it is classified only as a Cru Bourgeois, it regularly outperforms many of the Médoc's more renowned classed growths. There are two theories behind the château's rather unusual name: firstly, that, when Lord Byron visited the estate in 1821, he remarked `Quel remède pour chasser le spleen`. Secondly, that it is named after Baudelaire's poem, Spleen...Chasse-Spleen's wines were always noteworthy, though the quality improved dramatically with its acquisition by the Taillan Group, which also owns Château Haut-Bages-Libéral, in 1976. It was run by Bernadette Villars until she and her husband were killed in an accident while hiking in the Pyrénées in 1992. The property is now run by her daughter Claire.
