2024 Ch Chasse Spleen, Moulis

DUE OCT/NOV 2027

The 2024 Chasse-Spleen offers up aromas of minty cassis and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, somewhat firm and taut palate.

Chalky, sappy, redcurrant and raspberry fruits, a little dilute through the mid palate, but skilfully balanced with spice and campfire smoke, unfussy and charming, more austere than in recent vintages. 40 hl/ha yield.

The 2024 Bordeaux vintage is one of freshness, precision, and stunning vineyard expression. Following a growing season marked by early warmth, balanced rainfall, and a cool, even ripening period, the wines across both the Left and Right Banks show incredible aromatic lift, bright natural acidity, fine grained tannins, and true terroir definition. This is a vintage that will delight lovers of classical Bordeaux—built on elegance rather than excess, offering both early drinking appeal and serious ageing potential.

Highlights are already emerging from Saint-Émilion and Pomerol where Merlot shines with vibrant red fruits and silky textures. On the Left Bank, Pauillac, Margaux, and Saint-Julien deliver superb Cabernet Sauvignon with cassis purity, beautiful structure, and thrilling energy. The dry whites from Graves and Pessac-Léognan are crisp, textured, and mineral, while Sauternes enjoyed excellent botrytis development, producing rich yet refined sweet wines.

En Primeur—the Bordeaux futures market—offers you the unique opportunity to secure these wines at release prices, often the lowest they will ever be offered. Demand for allocations from top estates such as Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux, Château Canon, and Château Figeac is expected to be extremely high.
