Chateau Chasse-Spleen Moulis-en-Medoc 2009 i trækasse

”93 points. If you like elegant, perfectly balanced wines, you've come to the right place. Terrific.” – Vinum

“The 2009 is the finest Chasse Spleen since the 1989” – Robert Parker

Mesterslottet i Moulis-en-Médoc og ikke uden grund den ”hemmelige” favorit hos mangen bordeaux-kender. Vi har skaffet et lille, perfekt kældermodnet parti af legendariske 2009… årtusindets nok største årang af Chasse Spleen. Glæd dig!

Slottet, som er beliggende i Moulis-en-Medoc i Haut-Médoc, var engang en del af en større ejendom, der blev splittet op i to i 1822, hvoraf Château Chasse-Spleen var den ene.

I 1976 blev slottet opkøbt af handelsmanden Jacques Merlaut, og under ledelse af hans datter blev besiddelserne udvidet til også at omfatte Château Gressier-Grand-Poujeaux, som havde været en del af samme ejendom. De gjorde dog mere end det. Merlaut familien øgede densiteten af beplantningerne for at få vinstokkene til at yde deres bedste.

Faciliteterne blev moderniseret, for at de fortsat kunne producere vin af højeste kvalitet. I dag er det barnebarnet Cèline Villars og hendes mand Jean-Pierre Foubet, der styrer foretagendet, og de har formået at løfte kvaliteten til stadig nye højder.

Vinene indeholder en stor andel af Cabernet Sauvignon og er derfor herligt rustikke med masser af struktur og et stort lagringspotentiale.

Ved køb af 12 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

Anmeldelser af Chateau Chasse-Spleen Moulis-en-Medoc 2009

93/100 Vinum Magazin
“Juicy, dense, of enormous freshness, polished tannins, without any harshness; if you like elegant, perfectly balanced wines, you've come to the right place. Terrific.”

93/100 La Revue du Vin de France
"The wine has a superb sparkle and a beautiful explosive fruitiness, the 7% of Petit Verdots that go into the final blend bring a lot of energy to the whole. We find the immediate charm and the tasty side that make the success of Chasse-Spleen. It is already delicious."

91-93/100 Le Figaro

92/100 James Suckling
“Shows pretty plum and spice character, with full body, velvety tannins and a dried lemon and subtle fruit aftertaste. Rich and structured.”

90-93/100 Wine Spectator
”Subtle aromas of currant, spices and milk chocolate follow through to a full body, with a solid and polished core of tannins and a silky-textured finish.”

90-92/100 Wine Enthusiast
”Dense tannins over delicious blackberry juicy fruit. A finely structured wine, good freshness and sweet aftertaste.”

90-92/100 Robert Parker
”The 2009 is the finest Chasse Spleen since the 1989. Its deep purple color is accompanied by notes of graphite, black currants, sweet spice, and a hint of Chinese black tea. Full-bodied and opulent with wellintegrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, it is a lush beauty to enjoy over the next 20+ years. (Tasted two times.) Drink 2010-2030.”

91/100 Neal Martin, Vinous
”The 2009 Chasse-Spleen has a simple, earthy bouquet, a little dustiness at first although that soon dissipates with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly soft tannin on the entry, moderate depth, well-judged acidity with a sandalwood and tobacco infused finish that has a spring in its step. A very fine for Chasse-Spleen, although not my personal favourite vintage. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.”

17/20 Jancis Robinson
” 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Transparent, shaded garnet. Round and ripe yet with good freshness. I'm tasting this straight from the cellar and it has responded well to a serving temperature of 13 °C. Very refreshing, well-balanced wine in which the tannins have receded, leaving quite a complex, minerally amalgam of mature fruit without a hint of dryness. I suspect the serving temperature has elevated this particular bottle above that tasted in October 2022.”
