Héritage de Chasse-Spleen – Haut-Médoc – Red – 2016:

 

The Legacy of a Bordeaux Icon: Héritage de Chasse-Spleen

The Héritage de Chasse-Spleen is the distinguished second wine of the renowned Château Chasse-Spleen, a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel estate nestled in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation. This wine is crafted to provide a delightful introduction to the Château’s classic style-structured, elegant, and ready to enjoy sooner than its elder sibling. It is sourced from younger vines and specific plots, ensuring the signature balance and finesse Bordeaux is famous for.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Deep, brilliant garnet red, signaling concentration and depth.
• Nose: Expressive and complex, offering vibrant notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, layered with subtle hints of cedar, graphite, and vanilla from its barrel aging.
• Palate: The entry is firm and focused. The wine is medium-to-full bodied, with a beautiful structure defined by silky, well-integrated tannins. It delivers a juicy, lingering finish, making it surprisingly complex and satisfying for a second label.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This is a versatile, high-quality red wine, perfect for a sophisticated yet casual meal. Decant for one hour and serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C) to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. It is excellent now but will age gracefully for several years.
