Yet another exquisite vintage from Château Chantelune and a demonstration of the excellence that can be found in the Margaux appellation. Only 400 cases have been release, making this a rare addition to a collection. If you like Château Margaux, you'll love this! About the Producer A jewel located on top of the highest hill in Margaux, Château Chantelune is a unique property. Its previous owner, Mr. Soubrane was a carpenter who believed in felling his trees by moonlight, claiming this gave the best quality wood. His practice gave the property its name, meaning "sing to the moon." He sold his land to José Sanfins, director at third growth property, Château Cantenac Brown. Forty year old vines thrive in the poor gravel-sand soils. The vines dig deep for water and nutrients making them strong and competitive. Production is limited to just 400 cases. The small size of the vineyards allow Jose Sanfins to produce small quantities of exceptional fruit, and so the best quality wine. Vintages 2007; 2008; 2009; 2010 Taste A caressing texture, this wine is like no other. Dark fruits, spice and vanilla create a lush swirl of creamy forest fruit compote that is intense and long-lasting in equal measure. Food & Wine Pair with seared duck breast or a French classic, cassoulet.
