An outstanding wine from an outstanding vintage. Chantelune's 2010 is powerful yet gentle, incredibly balanced and beautifully perfumed. Only 400 cases were produced to ensure the highest quality. This is the perfect addition to any collection with the potential to age for another 5-10 years. 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 Taste A restrained and gentle wine from a blockbuster vintage. Characteristic dark and red fruit intermingle freely on the nose, ably supported by a hint of mint and vanilla. The palate is a wonderfully lush and creamy forest fruit compote that is intense and long-lasting in equal measure. As with most 2010 Bordeaux, this will reward patient ageing - but it's so delicious already that that's probably easier said than done! Food & Wine Pair with seared duck breast or a French classic, cassoulet.
