2010 Château Chasse-Spleen, Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux

Description

In vintages like 2010 Ch. Chasse-Spleen really comes into its own, notes of subtle black fruit and graphite on the nose lead on to a full, mouth-filling palate of black berry fruit, minerals and spice. As with many 2010s this wine is elegant and refined, yet has underlying power and definition. To be able to pull a couple of cases of this out of the cellar in 5-10 years’ time would be a real treat.

Chateau Chasse-Spleen Moulis is definitely a property on the move; the 2008-2010 are three amazing vintages. The 2010 has lovely juicy black cherries with a touch of strawberry jam on the nose. The wine has great power in the middle with intense crunchy fresh fruits, a very well balanced finish and well integrated tannins. Tip top!

Moulis

Moulis is the smallest of the six Médoc communes but boasts a wide variety of soils and terroirs. One of the two communal appellations located on the Atlantic side of the Médoc, its hilly country is studded with a diversity of gravels, limestone and clay. These are sturdy wines, but the best are capable of considerable longevity and are often seductively perfumed, with more power than Margaux wines – albeit less finesse and elegance.

Chateau Chasse-Spleen

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 two theories behind the château's rather unusual name: firstly, that, when Lord Byron visited the estate in 1821, he remarked `Quel remède pour chasser le spleen`. Secondly, that it is named after Baudelaire's poem, Spleen.
