Avis d'expert

15 / 20

Jean-Marc Quarin

(1-2003).
Dark red. Good intensity. Belle. Bright. Net. Medium intensity. Fruity. Citrus notes. Then smoke. Wine round, fruity, normal weight, with pure flavors of red fruits and hints of incense. In the final, continuing its evolution towards a marked slowing enough tannic my desire to better note. It is quite firm.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(6-2004).
One of the two finest estates of Moulis (the other being Poujeaux), Chasse Spleen’s large vineyard is planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. The ripe, generous 2001 is a chunky, fleshy, deep rubypurple-colored effort revealing good body, moderate tannin, and an earthy, black currant fruitiness offering notions of minerals and tree bark.

Wine Spectator

(3-2004).
Very good red with plum, berry and light mineral character. Medium-bodied, with good tannins and a long, caressing finish. Solid wine for the vintage.

16.5/200

Jancis Robinson

(5-2010). Deepish crimson without that much development at the rim. Firm, zesty, almost orange peel nose and then fruit that is just starting to melt and mature. Firm and confident with appealing freshness. Just starting to drink well though it should have many years ahead of it. .

Château informations

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.
