Detailed Description
The 1982 Château Chasse Spleen is a blend of Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, harvested in the heart of the AOC Moulis-en-Médoc. On the nose, the wine reveals an impressive bouquet of earthy notes, damp wood, mushrooms and a touch of vanilla. The palate is mature, with medium acidity, sweet tannins, and a velvety, balanced structure. Ripe red fruits are present, coated with spicy and tertiary notes such as leather, leading to a finish of remarkable length.
Producer InformationChâteau Chasse-Spleen is a winery in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation to the west of Margaux. It has long been viewed as the leading estate in that appellation â alongside Château Poujeaux â and is widely regarded, if not of being at cru classé standard, then certainly as holding a place among the top wines just beneath the classification. It was selected as one of six Crus Exceptionnels in the Cru Bourgeois classification in 1932 and maintained that status until the annulment of the classification in 2007. The wines are prized for their well-balanced fruitiness across a range of vintages. A second wine, L'Heritage de Chasse-Spleen, was known as L'Ermitage before 2000. L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen is the third wine. A white wine is also made, featuring around two-thirds Semillon to one-third Sauvignon Blanc.
