Description

Château Chasse-Spleen 1998 – Moulis-en-Médoc

Château Chasse-Spleen 1998, from the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, captures the classic structure, elegance, and character that have made this estate one of the Médoc’s most respected names. The 1998 vintage, particularly successful on the Left Bank thanks to steady ripening and an excellent end of season, allowed the château to craft a wine of balance, depth, and refined personality.

The wine displays a deep garnet color with gentle evolution. The nose is expressive and nuanced, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry, alongside notes of cedar, tobacco, forest floor, and a hint of spice characteristic of Chasse-Spleen’s style. On the palate, the wine shows an elegant structure, with fine, well-integrated tannins and a controlled freshness that brings length and precision. The texture is ample yet refined, striking an ideal balance between measured power and aromatic finesse. The finish is long, harmonious, and marked by evolved dark fruit and noble oak.

Today, Chasse-Spleen 1998 offers a beautifully mature expression — complex, poised, and deeply satisfying. A superb Moulis that reflects the estate’s signature: serious and refined, yet always touched with a distinctive, enduring charm.
