What boldness, to marry art with the ancestral — even biblical — practice of wine! And in the end, walking through these gardens, you notice a balance and a craftsmanship entirely in the image of this terroir.
This work, Lilian Bourgeat’s boots, is now an integral part of the Chasse-Spleen identity. Its incorporation into the label is the absolute recognition of that.
But the art doesn’t stop at the garden. A quick tour of the cellars and a disconcerting work intrigues us all over again. Felice Varini’s anamorphosis brings out the “Triangles” — but to make them out, you’ll have to find the ideal spot inside the cellar. Here, we’ll help you a little:
Since we’re in the cellars, let’s take the opportunity to taste a little wine.
Gressier 2015
This Moulis is fresh on the nose; the red fruit is secondary and you can sense a touch of youth. On the palate, a little acidity comes right from the start to revive your palate.

Chasse-Spleen 2015
The nose is very pleasant — red fruit, wood and hints of spice. No doubt about it, we’re no longer in the same dimension.
On the palate it’s round, enveloping, fresh and very balanced. The aromas detected on the nose confirm their presence without any trouble. This 2015 is already very good to discuss.
L’Héritage de Chasse-Spleen 2011
The nose is light; wood and tobacco, over a brownish-red colour.
On the palate, the red fruit is well present, and the length shifts to hand leadership back to the wood. It’s perfect to drink!
