Chateau Chasse-Spleen 2008

Chateau Chasse-Spleen 2008 is one of the Médoc's icons and comes from the renowned estate in Moulis-en-Médoc. This vintage impresses with its tranquility, depth, and fine ripeness, reflected in the terroir-inherent minerality. The house's distinctive feature lies in a consistent balance between fruit and elegance, which gains complexity over the years. The clay and gravel soils lend the wine a subtle saline note, while cassis and plum aromas are carried by smoky and graphite nuances. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator praise the consistent quality, aging potential, and clear typicity of this wine.

At tasting, the wine presents a ruby ​​red with a garnet sheen and captivates with an intense aroma of dark fruits, graphite, smoke, and subtle tobacco notes. On the palate, it is full and harmonious, with silky tannins, fine acidity, and a long, elegant finish. The complexity is enhanced by subtle oak notes that blend skillfully with the fruit and minerality. Food pairing suggestion: Grilled ribeye or beef fillet, lamb chops, mushroom risotto, or aged cheese – these combinations underscore the structure and flavor of the Château Chasse-Spleen 2008.
