Chasse Spleen
The name means to “Chase away the blues” and this engaging producer never fails to produce wine that does so. The history of the Chateau’s wine-production likely begins in the 1560s though the name possibly comes from a remark made by the poet Lord Byron applauding the wine’s restorative effect during a visit in 1821.

(6x75cl) 2003Wine Enthusiast (91)
Always one of the star crus bourgeois, Chasse-Spleen has produced a 2003 that manages to combine the rich, ripe fruits of the year with the right tannins and sweetness, along with blackberry fruits. It has the elegance and delicacy of Moulis, as well as some good intensity of flavor. A wine that will certainly age for 10 years or more.$542.00 -

88-90 A finely-made wine, which shows softness as well as density of fruit. This will develop well, and relatively quickly.$527.00 -
Vinous - Ian D'Agata (86-89)
Good deep red-ruby. Raspberry, licorice and an enticing floral quality on the nose. Lush, smooth and sweet, with lovely violet lift giving energy to the dark berry, sweet pipe tobacco and milk chocolate flavors. This broad, rather generous wine finishes with ripe tannins and very good length. (A second bottle was gamey and earthy; my projected range reflects the first sample I tried.)$317.00 -
(12x75cl) 2014James Suckling (93)
A very elegant, fresh and classical wine with a lot of energy and drive on the finish, which has a real mineral character. Great aging potential. Needs three years to soften. Real Chasse-Spleen here!$451.00 -
Decanter (92)
Chasse Spleen continues as the modern, vibrant face of Moulis, with lovely violet edging to the colour. The oak seems higher here than in its peers, accompanied by strong aromatics of damson and vanilla bean. Some rosemary hints come in after a few minutes in the glass. It's good quality and made in the estate's signature, with the freshness helping to balance the oak flourish. Clear spicing runs through the finish.$191.00 -
(12x75cl) 2019Vinous - Neal Martin (93)
The 2019 Chasse-Spleen is very perfumed on the nose, offering vivid brambly red fruit, leather, undergrowth and cedar aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and cohesive, with a sappy opening and fine acidity. Lightly spiced, showing plenty of substance on the finish. While not the most consistent estate, Chasse-Spleen has it in its grasp to make great wines, and the 2019 is one of them.$458.00 -

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (93)
Medium intensity, well balanced, with attractive dark brambled fruits, with crayon, sweet baking spices and supple tannins, reflects the heat of the vintage but stays within the lines. 40% new oak barrels, and this vintage contains part of the vines from newly-purchased Château Brillette, with good quality Cabernet Sauvignon from gravel terroir.$425.00 -
James Suckling (92-93)
This is structured and a little tight, with good concentration and volume. It’s medium-bodied with juicy and vibrant fruit coming through. Velvety tannins. Firm and fresh at the end.$147 - $175
