Chateau Chasse Spleen Moulis en Medoc 1964 AOC 0.75l

Chateau Chasse-Spleen Moulis en Medoc 1964 AOC 0.75l is a bottle that tells the story of the typical longevity of Medoc and its ability to withstand time with grace and intelligence. The Château Chasse-Spleen winery, located in the heart of Moulis-en-Médoc, stands out for a corporate identity rooted in respect for the terroir and a production philosophy that favors light interventions, precise readings of ripeness, and meticulous care of the aging process. The philosophy is simple but rigorous: every stage, from selective harvesting to fermentation, from controlled maceration to aging in oak barrels and used casks, is aimed at extracting elegance and minerality rather than immediate power. In this vintage, the typical characteristics of Chasse-Spleen emerge clearly: a garnet ruby color, aromas that evoke dry woods, tobacco, leather, and a hint of cocoa that blends with notes of ripe black fruits; on the palate, it opens with a present but velvety tannic texture, accompanied by a subtle freshness that supports a palate that lengthens and evolves, without ever losing its composure. The wine stands out for its ability to age with dignity, offering over time a complexity enriched with subtle spices, cedar, and a minerality reminiscent of the gravelly soils typical of the area; the structure is built to accompany red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, but it is also available for a thoughtful candlelit tasting, where time becomes part of the experience. The bottle, although from a historic vintage, remains surprisingly reactive to aging, requires constant storage, a stable position, and delicate decantation before opening to enhance its aromatic complexity. In the winery's range, this bottle represents a testament to the constant pursuit of purity and balance, a reference that connects past and present in an authentic reading of Médoc's maturity. In balance between power and refinement, this vintage embodies the STELT positioning.
