Covering 90 hectares, the vines are pampered, cultivated by hand and are divided between three grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and very few of Petit Verdot. The soil is first made up of a layer of gravel, whose stability forces the roots to dig their way horizontally (up to 10m sideways!) and vertically, then a layer of clay, porous, from which the roots draw the necessary moisture and finally in some places a layer of limestone. The wine is then vinified in thermo-regulated vats, either stainless steel or cement vats covered on the inside with Epoxy resin. It macerates for one month and is then aged for a period of 12 to 18 months in 40% new oak barrels. No filtration is carried out.

The robe of Château Chasse Spleen is dark, deep red, brilliant. The nose gives off aromas of smoked cedar, cocoa and pepper, with a strong predominance of blackcurrant. On the palate, they are frank, powerful, full-bodied and very rich. The tannins are muffled and balanced. In the long run, the tannins will melt and all the complexity of a great Bordeaux will reveal itself. The finish is all black cherry, frank and direct. As a wine pairing, it will be perfect with dishes in sauce, roast, game or a cheese platter. The ideal keeping time is 8 to 12 years.
