Offering up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil lead and liquorice, the 2019 L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish with a very civilised expression of Moulis typical grip. Forget it for a decade and follow it for the next two.
Medium to deep garnet-purple coloured, the 2018 L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen has a nose of baked blackberries and plum preserves with tapenade and hoisin hints. The mouth is medium-bodied, firm and chewy with a slightly lean mid-palate and short finish.
The 2015 L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen is a wine that did not shine in barrel, however, that has been addressed now that this superb Moulis is in bottle. It has a fresh blackberry, tobacco and graphite-scented bouquet that is well defined, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and crisp acidity. It feels fresh and lively with a welcome tang of salinity on the finish. It is not as powerful as other vintages that I have tasted, yet it is very well balanced and feels sustained on the aftertaste. I now feel much more optimistic about this 2015.

Château Chasse Spleen is a renowned wine producer located in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux, France. The history of this estate dates back to the 18th century when it was owned by the Marquis de Latresne. The name Chasse Spleen is said to have been given to the estate by Lord Byron, who was a frequent visitor and admirer of the wines produced here.

The vineyards of Château Chasse Spleen cover an area of 80 hectares and are planted with a blend of grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The soils here are predominantly gravelly, which is ideal for the cultivation of these grape varieties.

The style of production at Château Chasse Spleen is traditional, with a focus on producing wines that are elegant, complex, and age-worthy. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months before being bottled.

The wines produced at Château Chasse Spleen are known for their deep ruby color, intense aromas of black fruit, and complex flavors of blackcurrant, tobacco, and spice. These wines have a firm structure and a long, lingering finish, making them ideal for aging.

Château Chasse Spleen produces a range of wines, including their flagship wine, Château Chasse Spleen, which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. They also produce a second wine, L'Oratoire de Chasse Spleen, which is made from younger vines and is designed to be more approachable in its youth.

Overall, Château Chasse Spleen is a producer that is highly regarded for their traditional approach to winemaking and their commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality. Their wines are sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world, and they are a must-try for anyone looking to experience the best that Bordeaux has to offer.

Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation.

The finest (and most expensive) of these are the wines from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former is focused (at the top level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter pair on on Merlot.

The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines based on Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. These range from dry whites to challenge the best from the Burgundy region (Pessac-Léognan is particularly renowned) to the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.
