Score 83/100 · Drink 2018-2020, Neal Martin, May 2018

The 1978 Chasse-Spleen has an earthy, leathery and smoky bouquet that actually reminds me of a mature Saint-Estèphe. The palate is rustic and a little rough hewn, although I appreciate the density. It is a masculine, rather obdurate Chasse-Spleen that feels drying out on the finish. I bet this was quite a decent wine in its youth, but its probably past its best now. Tasted at the Académie du Vin dinner.

Chasse Spleen

If there’s one Moulis estate you know, it is likely Chasse-Spleen, today owned by the Foubet family. Vines have been planted here since the 16th century, and today it has an impressive 100 hectares to its name.
