Chasse Spleen 2009 75cl

Château Chasse-Spleen is one of the leading estates in the Moulis appellation, along with Château Poujeaux and Château Maucaillou. Classified as a Cru Bougeois since 2006, Chasse-Spleen, however, more often than not outperforms Médoc’s most renowned classed growths. With a history tracing back to the 16th century, the château has been managed by women since 1976, when daughter of the Taillan Group’s founder Jacques Merlaut, Bernadette Villars took charge. Following her example, daughter Claire ran the estate from 1992 until the turn of the century, when sister, Céline assumed the role of Chief Executive. Today, the sizable property is managed by Céline and her husband, allowing her to ultimately follow both of her passions, wine and architecture. With over 104-hectares dedicated to vines, the château consistently turns out rich and concentrated, deeply-colored harmonious reds. Including their top wine, Chasse-Spleen, and their equally impressive Haut-Médoc Cuvée, L’Heritage de Chasse-Spleen.
