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.”
