2021 Chateau Chasse Spleen - Cru Bourgeois Moulis

Decanter.com – 91 pts – GH: *Aromatic on the nose - rose petals. This has a juicy, bright core, that gentle succulence where your mouth instantly waters from the acidity but you also get a mouthful of summer berry fruit at the same time. I like this a lot, the fruit feels well worked and delivered with poise and energy and the chalky and salty tannins provide just the right grip on the palate. It's not the most expansive right now but feels classy with hints of glamour and I love the mentholated, liquorice touch at the end.* - 04/2022

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.* - 05/2022

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 – JR: *53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Nose suggests, somehow, a creamy texture to follow. Round and flattering with real vitality and fair balance. Just-ripe fruit with good freshness. Vigorous. Relatively fleshy for a 2021. GV?* - 04/2022

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
