2021 Chateau Chasse Spleen 0,375 l - halbe Flasche - Cru Bourgeois Moulis

Decanter.com – 90 pts – GH: *Such a pretty nose with raspberries and rose petals. Bright and supple, a nice energy to this straight away, lively and juicy, missing some more push and length towards the finish, but starts off nicely with bright strawberries and red cherries before a mineral, wet stone element comes into play. I love the initial juiciness, before it fades away, but the lingering salty, stone minerality is nice. Straight and lean, I'd like this to have a bit more push and mid palate depth but perhaps it'll expand given some time.* - 12/2023

Falstaff Magazin – 90 pts – PM: *Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Herzkirschen, zarte Brombeerkonfitüre, zart tabakig, angenehme Kräuterwürze. Mittlere Komplexität, Kirschen auch am Gaumen, reife Tannine, frische Struktur, bereits zugänglich, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter.* - 05/

Vinum Magazin – 17/20 pts: *Ausbaugeprägt; von kompakter, dichter Art, mit reifen, perfekt eingebundenen, saftigen Gerbstoffen, fruchtiger Ausklang; sehr ausgewogen, macht Spass.*

JancisRobinson.com – 16/20pts – JH: *53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot. Darkish crimson. Lots of pure dark fruit and a light impression of stone dust (in a good way). Dry and leafy on the palate, relatively soft tannins. Smooth, dark and seems scented on the finish, perhaps the Petit Verdot? Light but harmonious.* - 11/2023

Vinous.com – 90 pts – AG: *The 2021 Chasse-Spleen is a soft, easygoing Moulis that will drink well on release. Plush, sensual and enveloping, the 2021 is all charm. Succulent red cherry, spice, tobacco, blood orange and leather fill out this layers. This plump, juicy 2021 is all pleasure.* - 12/2023

Thewinecellarinsider.com – (89-90) pts – JL: *Strong underbrush, leafy tobacco, herbs, olives and cedar notes accompany the bright red fruits on the medium-bodied, chewy, peppery-spiced palate. Drink from 2023-2038.* - 05/2022
