Description
Chateau Chasse-Spleen, Moulis-en-Medoc, Bordeaux, France, 2022
Grapes: A blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot & 2% Cabernet Franc, 80ha vineyard on Garonne gravel over chalk soil, 18 months' ageing in French oak (40% new)
Producer Tasting Note:
Very deep colour, clear and brilliant. An initial nose of cherry, chocolate and red roses. After swirling, confirmed aromas, with a touch of verbena freshness. A supple, ample mouth supported by dense and chalky, fine tannins. Very persistent red fruit finish.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"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."
(90-92/100) points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE, April 2023
"Tobacco leaf, underbrush, cedar, and currants form the core of the wine. On the medium-bodied palate, the wine is crunchy, crisp, and classic with a savory edge to firm finish. Drink from 2025-2040"
90/100 points, Jeff Leve, THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER, May 2023
