Tasting note

2011 年的沙斯-斯普林帶有典型梅洛與波爾多風格的緊緻感，但口感並不粗糙：酒色深沉亮麗，香氣有熟李子、香草與一抹薄荷清香，黑胡椒與甘草在尾端舞動。入口清晰有力，細緻的單寧織出絲滑的結構，橡木與熟成帶來溫潤的脂感與悠長餘韻。酒莊位於礫石覆蓋的白堊土台地，9 月分批採收並在不鏽鋼與混凝土槽控溫發酵，之後以 12–16 個月橡木桶（約 40% 新桶）陳年；家族經營、分選嚴謹，田地與釀造細節讓這瓶酒的口感既有力度又有層次。建議稍微醒酒一段時間再享受，能讓香氣與單寧更和諧。

This 2011 from Château Chasse-Spleen shows the classic Moulis energy: a deep, brilliant red with a nose of ripe plum, subtle vanilla from oak and a cool minty, peppery lift. On the palate it opens with a clear, incisive attack; fine-grained but quite firm tannins are wrapped in a mouth-coating texture and a hint of liquorice that leads into a long, persistent finish. Estate notes confirm harvests across September and vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete vats, followed by 12–16 months in barrels with about 40% new oak. The vineyard sits on Garonne gravel over a chalky subsoil, giving the wine structure and mineral lift. Owned and run by Bernadette Villars and her daughters, the domaine balances careful sorting in the cellar with classical maturation — this vintage benefits from decanting and can age further in bottle.
