Although contiguous to Poujeaux, Chasse-Spleen offers another face to Moulis wines, more tannic and, in its first youth, more austere. A great Medoc classic.
Chasse-Spleen expands in 2023 with the acquisition of Brillette, 35 ha of a beautiful terroir of deep gravel in Moulis.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 90/100 "The 2022 Chasse-Spleen is a powerful, deep Moulis. Scorched earth, tobacco, incense and dried flowers complement a core of dark fruit. Brooding and quite closed today, the 2022 needs a few years in bottle to be at its best."

The 2019 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2023): 90+/100 “The 2019 Chasse-Spleen has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry and bilberry fruit, undergrowth and tobacco - classic Médoc really. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of feisty red fruit, modest depth and showing some austerity towards the finish. A more cerebral Left Bank 2019, though I would have liked a bit more persistence. This might be entering an awkward adolescence".

Vinous (A Galloni - December 2017): 93/100 "The 2016 Chasse-Spleen has a wonderful, detailed mineral-driven bouquet that feels like a coiled spring at the moment. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, impressive depth and a pure but grippy, convicing finish. One of the best Chasse-Spleen in recent years. Bravo! This might represent one of the best quality-to-price- ratios on the Left Bank."

Vinous (A Galloni - December 2017): 90/100 "The 2015 Chasse-Spleen is a wine of finesse and grace. Floral notes, spice, leather and mint are beautifully delineated in this attractive, midweight wine. All the elements are very nicely balanced. Bright, saline notes extend the finish. readers who appreciate the finer side of Bordeaux will flip out over the 2015."

We no longer present Sociando-Mallet, which should be in a good place in the cellar of any wine lover, as the quality and above all the regularity of its last thirty vintages are so impressive. Without wishing to underestimate the hard work of the late Mr Gautreau since 1969, it must be said that the terroir, against the Gironde on a gravelly ridge comparable to that of Montrose, is indeed that of a Grand Cru Classé. Unavoidable 2016, the greatest wine of Sociando-Mallet since 1996.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 90/100 “The 2021 Sociando-Mallet takes some time to cohere in the glass, though it eventually offers attractive blackberry, brine and cedar scents. A very slight black truffle note lurks in the backgroud. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. This is a pretty Sociando, well-balanced and fresh, gaining depth toward the finish with a bright, sour cherry-edged aftertaste.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 91/100 “The 2020 Sociando-Mallet shows more new oak on the nose than its peers, though there is sufficient brambly red fruit to soak that up. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and well-delineated with bitter cherry and a splash of balsamic. It's granular in texture with satisfying length and a side order of clissicism. Give this a couple of years in bottle. ”

The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, plenty of blackcurrant and raspberry fruit laced with cedar and black pepper. Solid, if missing a little elegance on the finish.

La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 94/100 “As discerning wine lovers know, Sociando-Mallet, a brand widely distributed in France, is a wine with remarkable value for money...[...] the latest vintages seem a little less profound, but remain very pleasant, perfect for drinking within the decade, as in 2018 with its seductive velvety texture.”
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2021): 93/100 "The 2018 Sociando Mallet, which comes wrapped in a resplendent 50th-anniversary label to celebrate the late Jean Gautreau's acquisition of the estate, takes some time to really coalesce on the nose, eventually revealing boysenberry and mulberry scents and cedar and light earthy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that belie the concentration of this Sociando-Mallet. Very cohesive, it delivers plenty of red fruit mixed with sous-bois and tobacco, though there is just a little more dryness on the finish than I was expecting."

In a rich, powerful and concentrated style, Haut-Condissas must be waited in bottle for a good ten years to reveal its real finesse and great complexity.

Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 88/100 "The 2022 Deyrem Valentin is a potent, brooding Margaux. It shows good depth but is also penalized by huge, searing tannins that clamp down on the mid-palate and finish. It's hard to get past the bruising structure today."

It's not exactly an elegant expression of Margaux, but there's good depth, which makes me optimistic.”
Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 90/100 “The Deyrem Valentin 2021 must be considered a success for the vintage. It has a silty bouquet that harmonizes with black fruits and hints of dark chocolate. It's not powerful, but it's well-defined, and its style is close to that of a Saint-Julien. The palate is medium-bodied, with dark fruit and plum notes and, once again, a touch of dark chocolate. There's a certain trace of oak to assimilate on the finish, so give this Margaux a few more years in bottle.”
