2015 Chateau Chasse-Spleen, Moulis en Medoc

Château Chasse-Spleen is an esteemed estate located in the Moulis-en-Médoc, an appellation that has been producing wine since Roman times and is known for its gravelly soil and unique historical heritage. The vineyard’s terroir, characterized by Garonne gravel over a limestone-clay subsoil, supports a blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. In the glass, this wine presents notes of blackcurrant, cedar, and forest floor with a firm, medium-bodied structure and well-knit tannins. The 2015 vintage provided warm days and cool nights, which allowed the grapes to achieve full maturity while retaining the freshness and clear fruit expression that define this year. This is a balanced, approachable selection that offers the poise to enjoy now or the structure to continue developing in the cellar.
