This magnum contains 1.5 liters of Château Chasse-Spleen 2018 from Moulis-en-Médoc. The larger size is ideal for a dinner with several guests and offers potential for further bottle aging. The wine also bears one of the most distinctive names in Bordeaux.
The name Chasse-Spleen refers to the dispelling of gloomy thoughts. There are various stories surrounding its origin, all of which fit the romantic atmosphere of the nineteenth century. The estate is located in Moulis-en-Médoc, where gravel and clay soils contribute to the structure of the wines. In 2018, a wet spring was followed by a warm and dry summer. This shift made for a ripe harvest in Bordeaux. As a result, the wine exhibits a combination of dark fruit and firm tannins. A magnum has a different ratio of wine to oxygen under the cork than a standard bottle. When stored properly, this can allow for a more gradual development. The size also offers the opportunity to share a special bottle with several wine enthusiasts. The quality of storage remains a determining factor for further aging.
Expect black currants, blackberries, cherries, cedar, and subtle herbal notes. The flavor is full-bodied and well-structured, with fresh acidity that complements the ripe fruit. The tannins may soften over the years.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Pair with lamb, beef, game, or aged cheese. The magnum bottle makes this wine ideal for sharing.
