Chateau Chasse-Spleen 1996 Moulis-En-Medoc 6x150cl / Original Wooden Case

Located uphill from Margaux, in the Bordeaux appellation of Moulis-En-Medoc, Château Chasse-Spleen was one of only 9 estates selected for the (now defunct) classification of Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel - proof of its common regard as being one of the very best of the non-1855 Classified wine estates of Bordeaux.

Chasse-Spleen is typically a blend of 65-75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25-30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot; however, prior to vineyard changes in the mid-1990s, Cabernet Sauvignon was far less dominant and Cabernet Franc was also included.  Maturation takes place in French Oak barrels (40% new oak) for 12-18 months.

Large-format bottles are great for extended ageing periods due to the wine's slower rate of maturation.  Indeed, this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a mature case of quality Bordeaux.

Please note there shall be a shipping charge for 12 bottles applied to this lot.
