Château Chasse Spleen

Chasse Spleen is a Cru Bourgeois in the Moulis appellation. It vies with the likes of Poujeaux for the number one spot in this southern Médoc commune that is home to a number of great value clarets. Often tannic in their youth, the wines do need 6 or 8 years in the bottle before reaching maturity, but thereafter they can age very well indeed. This estate was particularly successful in the magnificent 2009 and 2010 vintages and the trend is towards a more accessible, earlier drinking style.
