Tasting notes
Tangy gooseberries and smoke with a touch of cream and sliced apples. Delicious, fresh stone fruit on the medium-bodied palate brimming with bright acidity. Tight finish shows good intensity. Drink now.

Pale gold, a little more of a yellow blush than many in the vintage, and this has waves of sweet apricot and nectarine fruit, plenty of impact. Enjoyable, less mineral, more fruit focused. A white that has been produced since 1992, grown on sandy-gravel soils located within the Moulis appellation. Aged in 50% new oak for 9 months, with the rest in stainless steel vats.
About the producer
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.
