    The Château Chasse-Spleen vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, ideal for cultivating noble grape varieties.

Environmentally friendly cultivation methods promote rich biodiversity, enhancing the terroir's distinctive character.

    Owner and history

    Currently, the estate is managed by the Carra family, who are passionate about the art of winemaking. Their commitment to excellence and sustainability is reflected in their environmentally friendly practices. They have successfully modernized the infrastructure while preserving the authenticity of Château Chasse-Spleen. This family continuity ensures the transmission of knowledge and respect for traditions, while bringing a contemporary vision to the winemaking process.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Chasse-Spleen is carried out with meticulous care. The grapes, carefully sorted, are vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of their aromas. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, followed by aging in oak barrels, some of which are new. This crucial step allows the tannins to soften and imparts subtle woody notes, enriching the wine's complexity. The result is a balanced wine, a true reflection of its terroir.
