Description

Château Chasse-Spleen is the leading estate of Moulis, a small and easily overlooked commune on the left bank of the Gironde, sandwiched in the No Man's Land between St Julien to the north and Margaux to the south.
Indeed, it seems the area was overlooked during the development of the 1855 classification, as none of the properties here make any appearance; Chasse-Spleen is the most likely candidate, from just a handful of hopefuls, that might qualify for elevation were the impossible to happen and a new, more relevant revision ever to take place. At the time of the classification, however, Chasse-Spleen did not exist as an independent entity, and so its absence is hardly surprising. As it is, the proprietors of Chasse-Spleen must today live with the title of Cru Bourgeois, having briefly flirted with fame as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, the top tier in the subsequently annulled 2003 classification of Cru Bourgeois properties. But I do not think it matters much; those that buy Bordeaux know the true worth of any château or wine regardless of its classification, and Chasse-Spleen is well regarded, and has been ranked as high as a troisième cru by some critics.

7/14/2012 - OTTO NIEMINEN WROTE:
A really lovely, classic mature Bordeaux. Lovely tangy cherry fruit with some cedar cigar box and dried elderflower. Really amazingly sweet but also well structured with still some tannin - and that tannin with the still sweet fruit makes me feel that this particular bottle could have aged and improved still! This seemed more like a wine that is just beginning to drink well! Continually improved over the four hours when it was open.

11/5/2010 - MWANASHERIA WROTE: 91 Points
1982 Bordeaux tasting; 11/5/2010-11/6/2010 (Bremen, Germany): Cherries, tobacco, spices, herbs. This showed very well.
