Product Description

ABOUT THE WINE. Château Chasse-Spleen, a distinguished estate in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux, presents its 2020 vintage, reflecting a legacy of excellence dating back to its establishment in 1822. The 2020 vintage is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 6.5% Petit Verdot, and 2.5% Cabernet Franc. The growing season featured a mild winter followed by a wet spring, leading to challenges with mildew. However, a hot, dry summer ensured optimal ripening, resulting in a wine that balances power and elegance.. TASTING NOTES. The 2020 Château Chasse-Spleen displays a deep, dark burgundy color with brilliant clarity. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of black pepper, candied mandarin peel, and blackberry. On the palate, it is dense and mouth-coating, with fine tannins and a balanced, smooth feel. Subtle vanilla notes emerge, leading to a finish marked by ripe jam flavors.. FOOD PAIRING. This versatile wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes:. Red Meats: Grilled or roasted lamb, beef steaks, and stews enhance the wine's robust flavors.​. Pork and Lamb Dishes: Barbecued pork or lamb dishes complement the wine's depth and structure.. Hard Cheeses: Aged cheeses such as Gruyère or Comté harmonize with its complex profile.​. For optimal enjoyment, serve at 16-18°C and consider decanting an hour before serving to fully express the wine’s aromas and flavors.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. The 2020 Château Chasse-Spleen is a testament to the estate's enduring quality, offering a harmonious blend of rich fruit concentration, refined tannins, and a lingering finish. This vintage is expected to develop gracefully and can be enjoyed now or cellared for further complexity over the next 15-20 years.
