Long regarded as the leading Cru Bourgeois of Moulis, Chasse-Spleen's 2016—blended from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc—demonstrates why the estate stands just below classified growth status. The nose presents an elegant bouquet with neatly integrated oak, hints of cedar and smoke, and clear terroir character. The palate is fresh and linear, cut through by superb acidity that creates tension, with firm yet refined tannins and a subtle marine influence on the persistent finish. Recommended to drink 2022–2045.

Antonio Galloni

88 points

"The 2016 Chasse-Spleen is an earthy, powerful wine. There is good persistence, but the 2016 remains a bit rustic and hearty in style. Smoke, dried herbs, dried cherry and a whole range of savory Cabernet Sauvignon notes run through this expressive, hearty Moulis en Médoc." —Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Chasse-Spleen has a very elegant bouquet with neatly integrated oak, the terroir really showing through here, hints of cedar and smoke emerging with time. The palate is fresh as a button on the entry. It is cut through with a superb line of acidity that engenders superb tension, the tannins firm but fine with a subtle marine influence towards the persistent finish. This is a fabulous Chasse-Spleen, the best I have ever tasted from the estate. It could end up at the top of by banded score." —Neal Martin

"Classic Cabernet-based Médoc with dark fruit, blackcurrant and graphite. Juicy, fresh with tannic drive."

Wine Enthusiast

93 points

"This wine is soft and ripe, with finely integrated tannins. The acidity gives it a great lift, and is framed by those fine, dusty tannins."
