Château Chasse-Spleen 2016 is a great Bordeaux red wine and cru bourgeois, located in Moulis-en-Médoc, a superb vintage marked by a very mild and wet winter, with homogeneous flowering. The scorching summer lasted until September, slowing down the ripening of the grapes, then the rains at the beginning of September revived ripening and invigorated the young vines. The late harvest took place serenely, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet-Sauvignon worthy of the great Médoc vintages.

It offers a deep, clear and brilliant garnet colour, and a clean and expressive nose of black cherry and fresh rose, followed by notes of blackberry and pink pepper. On the palate, the attack is frank and full-bodied, the substance voluminous with a fine, tight and satiny structure, and the finish persistent with notes of liquorice and cocoa powder. It can be enjoyed now or stored in the cellar until 2045-2050.

An exceptional wine that can compete in its best years with the best classified growths of the Médoc, such as this 2016 vintage, it is hardly surprising to see that Charles Baudelaire and Lord Byron were prestigious ambassadors of Château Chasse-Spleen. Find the wines of Château Chasse-Spleen currently on sale at the Bouteille Dorée.

You can also find all the wines of the magnificent 2016 vintage and the selection of Médoc crus bourgeois currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée.
