Description
Château Chasse-Spleen is a leading estate in Moulis-en-Médoc, a small appellation on the Left Bank of Bordeaux between Margaux and Listrac. The 2022 is a red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, so expect structure from the Cabernet and a softer middle from the Merlot.
Lamb chops, a pepper-crusted steak and roast duck all work, after an hour in a decanter at about 62 to 65 degrees. Young Médoc reds can sit in a cool cellar for another decade if you want to wait.
