92pts Wine Enthusiast
Made from a vineyard planted in 1990, this wine with its toast and spice aroma is ripe, full of the wood aging but also rich melon and pink grapefruit flavors. The wine needs to age further. Drink from 2026.
92pts Decanter
A resurgence in quality in recent years at this historical estate is confirmed in 2023, with pleasing forest strawberry and blue fruit coolness presaging a juicy palate, albeit with some unresolved (bordering on hard) tannins toward the finish. Nonetheless, the wine is nicely balanced between alcohol and acidity, with the type of tannin that barrel ageing (40% new oak barrels) will tame as planned. A lovely Moulis in the making.
92pts Vinous
The 2023 Chasse-Spleen is terrific. Aromatic, medium in body and nuanced, the 2023 packs quite a bit of intensity into its mid-weight frame. Floral and savory top notes cut through a core of brilliant red-toned fruit. Brisk acids that pull it all together on the finish. This is beautifully done.
91pts Robert Parkers' Wine Advocate
Offering up aromas of minty cassis, dark berries and pencil shavings, the 2023 Chasse-Spleen is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and youthfully structured, with good depth at the core and a penetrating finish. It's a strong effort.
Winemaker Notes
This bright wine boasts a beautiful dark burgundy red color. The nose combines aromas of black pepper, candied mandarin peel and blackberry. Dense and mouth-coating, the palate seduces with the finesse of its tannins, its balance and its smooth feel. Very supple, this wine harmoniously unveils subtle vanilla notes, leading to a finish marked by aromas of ripe jam.
