The appellation, recognized in 1938, is the smallest of the Médoc’s communal appellations: a strip about a dozen kilometers long between Margaux and Saint-Julien, with no frontage on the estuary. Chasse-Spleen is grown on a gravel hillock in the hamlet of Grand Poujeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the château’s account, in 1820 an inheritance divided the Gressier estate, and the portion that went to the daughter, who had married a Castaing, remained without a proper name until around 1863. Rosa Ferrière, already widowed, found one by recalling a legend: Lord Byron, a guest at Gressier, is said to have praised that wine as unrivaled for dispelling spleen, a word Baudelaire had brought into fashion in Ranska. In 1912, the property passed to the Segnitz family, merchants from Bremen, and after the First World War it was confiscated as enemy property.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1922, Chasse-Spleen was bought by Prosper Lahary, owner of pine forests in the Landes, and management soon passed to his son Franck. In 1967, the château therefore belonged to the Lahary family, who could use their timber income to support the vineyard in difficult vintages. The château notes that in 1964, three years before this harvest, the Médoc’s first underground chai was built there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soils combine gravel over a clay-limestone subsoil with clay over limestone, and the red vineyard is now planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, along with some Petit Verdot. In the 1932 list of crus bourgeois, compiled by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and never approved by the ministry, Chasse-Spleen was among the six in the top group, the “supérieurs exceptionnels.” Today, the château is no longer part of the crus bourgeois system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBordeaux’s 1967 summer was hot and dry, followed by a September that was mostly cold and wet; in the Médoc, the red grapes were harvested in October amid intermittent rain. The harvest was abundant, yielding lighter wines that were ready to drink sooner than those of the decade’s great vintages; the areas where Merlot predominates, and above all Sauternes, fared best. At this age, a Médoc red usually has a brick-tinged color, very softened tannins, evolved aromas and sediment at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoina vuosina valikoima oli nykyistä yksinkertaisempi: toinen viini, Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen, tuli markkinoille vuonna 1979, ja valkoviiniä on ollut myynnissä vuodesta 1995. Tämä pullo on peräisin Laharyjen viimeiseltä vuosikymmeneltä. 1970-luvun puolivälissä he myivät linnan Jacques Merlaut’lle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTELTin valikoimaan kuuluva vuoden 1967 Chasse-Spleen on muisto Laharyjen ajasta: Moulis, jonka voi avata kaikessa rauhassa, jos haluaa nähdä, millaiseksi Médocin punaviini kehittyy lähes kuuden vuosikymmenen pullokypsytyksen jälkeen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Chasse Spleen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60097103888709,"sku":"CHACHA-MOUENMED-BOR-67-075","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Stelt_mistery_new.png?v=1786909651","url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/fi\/products\/chateau-chasse-spleen-moulis-en-medoc-1967-075","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
