Critics reviews
Tasted blind. Open, slightly loose nose. Dry but not too drying. Good fruit.
Drink 2024 - 2030
Deep crimson. Much the most fragrant of the Moulis and Listrac 2016s tasted today. And the most delicate in tannin structure. Dusty dry finesse with leafy black fruit to add freshness on the finish.

16.5/20
The fruit here is good, ripe and carefully extracted. There is freshness, and the whole thing hangs together with well-worked tannins, offering excellent quality for the mid-tier price of Médoc wines.
Drink 2025 - 2040
A solid and linear young wine with blackcurrant and berry character, a medium to full body and a savory finish. Another excellent, young Chasse-Spleen.
The 2016 Chasse-Spleen has a very elegant bouquet with neatly integrated oak, the terroir really showing through here, hints of cedar and smoke emerging with time. The palate is fresh as a button on the entry. It is cut through with a superb line of acidity that engenders superb tension, the tannins firm but fine with a subtle marine influence towards the persistent finish. This is a fabulous Chasse-Spleen, the best I have ever tasted from the estate. It could end up at the top of my banded score.

Classic Cabernet-based Médoc with dark fruit, blackcurrant and graphite. Juicy, fresh with tannic drive.
Drink 2023 - 2034
The 2016 Chasse-Spleen has a wonderful, detailed, mineral-driven bouquet that feels like a coiled spring at the moment. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, impressive depth and a pure but grippy, convincing finish. One of the best Chasse-Spleen in recent years. Bravo! This might represent one of the best quality-to-price ratios on the Left Bank.
