[Blanc de Chasse Spleen 2019]
The origin of the special name "Chateau Chasse Spleen" (Forget Sorrow Castle) is widely believed to stem from the British poet Byron. When he visited the winery in 1821 and took a sip of the wine offered by the owner, he exclaimed, "Quel remede pour chasser le spleen."(This is truly a remedy to chase away the blues!),The term "Chasse-spleen" also comes from this.(Hong Kong also calls it Chasuble - directly translated from its French name) The winery began to flourish in the latter half of the 19th century, but unfortunately, it missed the 1855 classification. However, in fact, its price in the late 19th century was higher than many classified estates.The famous wine critic Robert Parker also once said: "This is an outstanding wine from the Moulis-en-Médoc region. If this wine had participated in the 1855 classification system, it would absolutely have been valued as a Third Growth."
