Château Chasse-Spleen 2010
Located in the heart of the Médoc, Château Chasse-Spleen is one of the major references of the Moulis appellation. A historic property recognized since the 19th century, it has established itself as the most prestigious vintage of the appellation thanks to the quality of its deep gravel terroir and demanding expertise. The evocative name Chasse-Spleen symbolizes the art of crafting wines capable of chasing away melancholy with their intensity and charm.
The 2010 vintage is considered exceptional throughout Bordeaux, and Chasse-Spleen is one of its most accomplished expressions. The ideal climatic conditions, with sunny days and cool nights, favored perfect ripeness of the grapes and remarkable concentration. This 2010 combines power and balance, offering a cuvée that is both dense and harmonious, with one of the greatest aging potentials in the estate's recent history.
The dark, bright color introduces an intense nose of ripe black fruits, blackcurrant, and plum, enhanced by notes of cedar, graphite, and mocha. The palate seduces with a full, fleshy structure, supported by firm but refined tannins and perfectly integrated acidity. The finish, long and persistent, displays nuances of licorice and sweet spices. A distinguished, deep, and elegant wine that embodies all the grandeur of the 2010 vintage and the nobility of the Chasse-Spleen style.
