critic reviews

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Medium intensity, well balanced, with attractive dark brambled fruits, with crayon, sweet baking spices and supple tannins, reflects the heat of the vintage but stays within the lines. 40% new oak barrels, and this vintage contains part of the vines from newly-purchased Château Brillette, with good quality Cabernet Sauvignon from gravel terroir.

92+/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2022 Chasse-Spleen presents a promising, quite burly bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and hints of marmalade unfolding in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry with grippy tannins. It feels a little stricter than it did in barrel, showing more austerity on the finish, but I appreciate the tension and ample length. Give this time to prove itself.

90-92/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Chasse-Spleen was showing especially well, bursting with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with licorice and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with levels of texture and mid-palate amplitude unusual at this address in recent years, this supple, charming Moulis should offer a broad drinking window.
