The name Chasse-Spleen captures the imagination and refers to the dispelling of gloomy thoughts.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of the Class of 2018<\/h3>\n<p>Ch\u00e2teau Chasse-Spleen has a long history in Moulis-en-M\u00e9doc. Its striking name is often associated with 19th-century Romantic culture, although there are various stories about its exact origin. The vineyards are situated on soils composed of gravel and clay, where Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot complement each other. The 2018 Bordeaux growing season began wet, with a strong focus on the health of the grapes. This was followed by a warm, dry summer that resulted in excellent ripeness. As a result, this year\u2019s wines from Moulis showcase a combination of dark fruit and robust structure. Chasse-Spleen is an interesting choice for enthusiasts who want to look beyond the most famous classifications. With further bottle aging, the wine can develop more spicy and earthy notes, while the tannins gradually soften.<\/p>\n<h3>Aroma and taste<\/h3>\n<p>Expect blackcurrant, black cherries, blackberries, cedar, and a hint of graphite. The flavor is rich and structured, with tannins that support the fruit. Fresh acidity keeps the whole experience lively.<\/p>\n<h3>Serving and Pairing<\/h3>\n<p>Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Let the wine breathe a bit if necessary. Pair with lamb, beef, game, or aged hard cheeses. Its structure pairs well with roasted flavors.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover more<\/h3>\n<p>Compare with these related Bordeaux wines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2018-chateau-chasse-spleen-magnum-15l-moulis-en-medoc\/\">2018 Chasse-Spleen Magnum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2016-chateau-branas-grand-poujeaux-moulis-en-medoc\/\">2016 Branas Grand Poujeaux<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product\/2018-chateau-cantemerle-medoc\/\">2018 Cantemerle<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also discover our <a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product-categorie\/wijn\/rode-wijn\/bordeaux\/\">Bordeaux Wines<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ch\u00e2teau Chasse-Spleen 2018 is a red Bordeaux from Moulis-en-M\u00e9doc.
