Château Chasse-Spleen 2017: A Classic Moulis Red

The Château Chasse-Spleen 2017 is a distinguished red wine from the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, France. As a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel estate, it exemplifies the elegance and complexity characteristic of this renowned region. This vintage is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc.

The wine presents a deep garnet color with purple highlights, indicative of its youthful vibrancy. On the nose, it reveals an expressive bouquet dominated by aromas of black cherry, complemented by subtle notes of tarragon, umami, and a mineral touch reminiscent of fireplace hearth and pencil shavings. The palate is medium to full-bodied, featuring soft tannins structured by a fine enveloping grain. The finish is persistent, with a fragrant and iodized finale.

Critics have lauded the 2017 vintage for its quality and approachability. Wine Spectator awarded it 88 points, noting its "crisp and peppery" profile with "juicy" cassis flavors that carry through to the "classically styled finish."

This wine is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Its refined profile makes it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and further aging.
