CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
Sappy herbs, flowers, cedar, smoke, and a more red-fruited profile all define the 2023 Château Chasse-Spleen, a medium-bodied, juicy, focused, borderline lean Moulis. It should round into shape over the course of its élevage and drink nicely for 4-6 years, possibly longer.

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 towards 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.
