Chateau Chasse-Spleen, Moulis-en-Medoc, 2016
Long regarded as the leading Cru Bourgeois of Moulis, Chasse-Spleen's 2016—blended from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc—demonstrates why the estate stands just below classified growth status. The nose presents an elegant bouquet with neatly integrated oak, hints of cedar and smoke, and clear terroir character. The palate is fresh and linear, cut through by superb acidity that creates tension, with firm yet refined tannins and a subtle marine influence on the persistent finish. Recommended to drink 2022–2045.
