2001 Chacircteau Chasse Spleen Moulis Bordeaux

2001 Chacircteau Chasse Spleen Moulis Bordeaux

It was Lord Byron who declared that this wine quotchassed his spleen awayquot and I am sure that the muse was with him having sampled the wine. Remarkably well drained subsoil and is superbly well exposed to the hot summer sun. The soil is composed of 80% Garonne gravel on a chalky substratum and 20% chalky clay. Before the vines were planted only extremely rustic cereal like rye grew on this land. The climate is also particularly important. The rainy Medoc springtime constitutes a water reserve in the buried tertiary shelf. A hot summer is hard on the vines, and means that the roots must go even deeper underground for their necessary water supply. This cruel weather and the poor earth are exactly what is needed for Megravedoc grape varieties.
