Wine Spectator

(05-1999)
Big and chewy. Impressive. Dark ruby-colored, with cocoa, coffee and chocolate aromas covered by ripe fruit. Full-bodied and very rich, showing lots of chewy tannins and a long, roasted coffee and berry aftertaste.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(02-1993)
Make no mistake about it, the 1989 Chasse-Spleen is the finest wine this property has produced since their great 1949. This is a spectacularly rich, powerful, authoritative example of the vintage that can compete with and even surpass many of the most famous names. Layer upon layer of concentrated, sweet, expansive, blackcurrant fruit is wrapped in a frame of toasty new oak and decent acidity. An awesome wine!

Chasse Spleen

On the road lined with Chateaux of the Médoc on the way to Pauillac, just outside the village of Arcins on the left just after the famous inn the Lion d'Or, is the vineyard Chasse-Spleen. Chasse-Spleen produces one of the most outstanding wines of the Medoc, and certainly the Moulis. Situated on four parcels of serious Quaternary 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, Chasse-Spleen produced under the inspired direction of Céline Villars-Foubet a firm and structured wine, with the robe deep and brilliant, which develops aromas of cassis and red fruit with hints of chocolate and cedar on the tannins, elegant result of a combination of modern and traditional winemaking.
