]]> Château Chasse-Spleen Moulis en Médoc Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel AOC https://test.vinumlector.com/our-wine/france/bordeaux/moulis-en-medoc/chateau-chasse-spleen-moulis-en-medoc-cru-bourgeois-exceptionnel-aoc/ Wed, 19 Dec 2018 11:01:00 +0000 https://test.vinumlector.com/?post_type=product&p=2546 Château Chasse-Spleen is the leading Moulis estate along with Château Poujeaux. Although it is classified only as a Cru Bourgeois, it regularly outperforms many of the Médoc's more renowned classed growths. There are numerous stories trying to explain the name of Chateau Chasse Spleen. The first version is that the name was inspired from a visit by Lord Byron in 1821, which was so moved, that he quoted, “Quel remede pour chasser le spleen”, which when loosely translated means, “What remedy to remove the spleen?”. The other equally poetic explanation is attributed to the poem Spleen, whose author Charles Baudelaire also visited Château Chasse-Spleen. A very elegant, fresh and classical wine with a lot of energy and drive on the finish with great aging potential.

APPEARANCE
The colour is ruby red with depth.

NOSE
The expressiveness of the nose is broad, fresh and enjoys a great aromatic freshness. Essentially built on a bouquet of pulpy black fruits (cherry and blackberry).

The mouth is wide, dynamic and elegantly structured on a Cabernet Sauvignon frame which marks the volume with a delicate and creamy tannic harmony. The finish is quite long and floral, with a good persistence.

AGEING
12 to 18 months in French oak barrels.

PAIRING
Chateau Chasse Spleen is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, pasta as well as cheese.

READINESS FOR DRINKING
Drink now with ageing potential until 2025.
