Viniou Reviews

Château Chasse-Spleen 2005, from the esteemed Moulis-en-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, is a classic red wine offering a remarkable expression of its terroir. This vintage showcases the elegant blending of traditional Bordeaux grape varieties, typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and smaller proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The 2005 growing season was exceptional, providing ideal conditions that yielded grapes of optimal ripeness and concentration. In the winery, meticulous vinification techniques are employed, with temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the unique character of the fruit, followed by a period of maturation in oak barrels that adds complexity and depth.

The Moulis-en-Médoc region is nestled within the larger Médoc area on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. The region benefits from a temperate maritime climate, heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, which helps to moderate temperatures and protect the vines. The soils are predominantly gravelly, allowing for excellent drainage and contributing to the finesse and mineral qualities of the wines. Bordeaux has a storied history of winemaking dating back centuries, renowned for producing world-class wines with structure and longevity.

For pairing this wine, consider hearty and savoury dishes that complement its robust profile. Traditional French cuisine, such as duck confit or a beef bourguignon, would highlight the richness of Château Chasse-Spleen 2005. Grilled lamb with herbs or a selection of aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère would also make excellent choices, enhancing the wine's complexity and tannins.

To fully appreciate the nuances of this wine, it is best served at a temperature of 16-18°C. This allows the aromas to open up and the flavours to be fully appreciated. Decanting the wine for about an hour before serving will further enhance its elegance and reveal its full potential. Enjoy this Bordeaux classic as it continues to develop gracefully with age.
