Comments of the Castle
Château Chasse-Spleen is located in Moulis-en-Médoc, it is a cru bourgeois, described by many amateurs as exceptional. With its famous surname, Château Chasse-Spleen makes the quality of Moulis wines resonate all over the planet. When still young, the great Château wine offers a seductive bouquet shared between pepper, black cherries and red fruits, while as it ages, plum and cocoa take over. Its balanced palate, its melted tannins and its great elegance are the perfect remedy to chase away Spleen.
History of the Château
The estate built by Mr Gressier in 1720, on the road leading to Pauillac, is called Grand Poujeaux. A century later, the property splits into two, the first castle is called Poujeaux-Gressier, like its founder, and the second Poujeaux Castaing which his daughter Lucrèce will inherit. Lucrèce's daughter-in-law, Rosa Ferrière, takes the reins of the estate when her husband dies. She remembers the legend behind the illustrious name that will soon be that of the estate: Chasse Spleen. His great-grandfather had welcomed and watered the famous English poet Lord Byron, the latter would then have complimented this wine which had no equal to chase away the "spleen". This is why Rosa will choose this unusual name for its ability to mark the spirits. Chasse Spleen was bought in 1912 by the Segnitz family, wine merchants in Bremen. Under their aegis, this Moulis experienced a boom in notoriety in North Germany. Two years later, war broke out, and at its end, as property belonging to the enemy, Chasse-Spleen was confiscated. 
In 1922, Prosper Lahary bought Château Chasse-Spleen. With its forest properties in the Landes, he created the first underground cellar in the Médoc in 1964, the Chasse Spleen was then considered the first of the bourgeois crus, judged moreover to be exceptional in 1919 during a classification which, alas, will never be registered in the Official Journal. In 1976, the Merlaut family, already owners of castles and traders, bought the castle. Within the Merlaut group, which has illustrious properties such as Château Gruaud Larose, Château Chasse-Spleen continues its qualitative ascent. 
Céline Villars-Foubet and Jean-Pierre Foubet, are currently the owner of Château Chasse-Spleen.
