92-94 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "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 by banded score. Drink: 2021-2045. (Apr 2017)"

93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "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. Drink: 2022-2045. (Jan 2019)"

92-93 points James Suckling: "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. (4/4/17)"

91-93 points Wine Enthusiast: "This wine is soft and ripe, with finely integrated tannins. The acidity gives it a great lift, and is framed by those fine, dusty tannins. (Apr 2017)"

92 points Decanter: "Classic Cabernet-based Médoc with dark fruit, blackcurrant and graphite. Juicy, fresh with tannic drive. Drinking Window: 2023-2034. (Sep 2019)"

La Revue du Vin de France: "(One of only 16 wines recognized, from a total of 340 tasted, as constituting “La ‘crème des Crus bourgeois”) The [Chasse-Spleen] estate rightly enjoys a high rating from amateurs seeking a suave, supple and very charming wine. The 2016 is a model of its genre, with a truly remarkable silky palate.”
