Description

Chasse-Spleen was originally one piece of a much larger estate in Haut-Médoc called Chateau Grand-Poujeaux. There was a split in 1822, and what was once Grand-Poujeaux became 4 smaller estates: Chateau Gressier-Grand-Poujeaux, Chateau Poujeaux-Theil, Chateau Maucaillou, and Chateau Chasse-Spleen.
Chateau Chasse Spleen was owned by the Castaing family until the start of World War I when it was purchased by German wine merchants. It was later confiscated as enemy property during the war and sold at an auction in 1922 to the Lahary family.
In 1976, the estate was bought by the Merlaut family, owners of Chateau Gruaud Larose, Chateau Ferriere, Chateau Citran, and Chateau Haut Bages Liberal, as well as a successful négociant business. Under the management of patriarch Jacques Merlaut and his daughter, Bernadotte Villars, several changes were made: the production area was increased from 40 to 80 hectares, large portions of the vines were replanted to increase vine density, and the winemaking facilities were modernized. Jacques’ daughter Bernadette later assumed control of Chateau Chasse Spleen, and with consultation from Emile Peynaud, the quality of the wines produced went up considerably. Bernadette and her husband sadly passed away in 1992 after a mountaineering accident, and management of the estate was passed on to her daughter, Claire Villars. Château Chasse-Spleen's wine is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It is matured in oak barriques (40% new) for 18 months and is bottled unfiltered.

Description

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Colour: Deep ruby red colour.
Aroma: Аromas of wild berries, macerated black cherries, leather, earth, cacao and mineral notes.
Taste: Full-bodied, with a vibrant, concentrated and dense tannic structure, yet elegant at the same time. The aromas carry through to the palate, where they combine with spicy balsamic notes, and inky black fruit, cassis, cedar, and sweet baking spices. The whole wine is brilliantly delineated by bright natural acidity.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C with minimum 1 hour decanting before serving.
