A beautiful alliance of power and classic elegance, \"velvet\" on the palate, confirmed by this lovely 2019 vintage! \u003cbr\u003eThis wine is capable of aging well while often remaining accessible when young thanks to a balance between fruit and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003eThe estate that produces it is a historic family property located on the Grand Poujeaux hillside, planted on Garonne gravel and very favorable limestone soils. Managed for several decades by the same family, today under the direction of Céline Villars-Foubet, it has built its reputation around the consistent quality of its wines, combining Bordeaux tradition, environmentally friendly viticulture and a very recognizable expression of its terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"517\"\u003eThe name \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eChâteau Chasse-Spleen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e most likely comes from a literary reference in the 19th century.
