Vibrant red plums, cassis, blueberries and wet stones with some roasted spices. Fruity and brambly on the fluid, medium-bodied palate imbued with juicy berries. Elegant, fresh and nuanced. Linear and lengthy, but quite soft-spoken. Drink or hold. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Dec 2023)

53 Cabernet Sauvignon, 38 Merlot, 9 Petit Verdot | 40% new oak | 13% alc. Chasse-Spleen is such a reliable property, yet I didn’t expect such a plush wine in this tricky vintage. The Cabernet leads the charge with energy and accuracy, and there is plenty of polish here. This is an impressive wine with a lovely sheen of style and flair.

Medium-bodied with chewy tannins and an array of spiced-fruit, hazelnut and cocoa notes. Pleasant, savory finish. From organically grown grapes. Rating: 90-91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2022)
Cheerful fruit, this is ruby in colour with violet reflections, inviting juice-filled fruits that hold the acidities on the right sidd of tart. well polished and hadled, carefully extracted, good quality. 33hl/h yield, 40% new oak. Tasted twice. Drinking range: 2024 - 2035 Rating: 88 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2022)
Château Chasse Spleen
Remarkable Chasse-Spleen has always produced high quality wines, which, for the last thirty years, have been worthy of a Third Growth Grand Cru. The English translation of the name of this Cru Bourgeois property is ‘chasing the blues away’, making it one of the most poetic of all names in the Médoc. Owned by Claire Villars, Chasse-Spleen is the leading estate of the little known Moulis appellation, and the wines are of excellent quality. Taking a look around the property (and if you are lucky, being guided round by Jean Pierre Foubet, Claire’s highly entertaining husband) gives you a good idea why they are so well admired. A large estate, although not all plots are next to the château itself; the cellars are impeccably clean, and there is a beautiful tasting room overlooking the barrel cellar and vines.
