  • Goedhuis, April 2019, Score: 93-95

    A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this is a striking cuvée. Full of luscious wild bramble fruits, there is a hint of fresh tobacco and iron filings. The tannins are extremely fine and a gentle freshness flows through the palate. This is a really appealing style which will give youthful pleasure but also have the ability to age.

  • Wine Advocate, April 2019, Score: 92-94

    Blended of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Moulin Saint-Georges is deep purple-black colored and opens slowly to display notions of sautéed herbs, menthol and pencil shavings over a core of chocolate-covered cherries, baked plums and cedar plus a waft of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with lively, juicy fruit framed by plush tannins and finishes with a floral skip in its step.

  • James Suckling, April 2019, Score: 92-93

    This shows brightness and firmness with lovely tannin and acidity balance to the ripe fruit. Racy at the end.

  • Decanter, April 2019, Score: 94

    The alcohols are a touch higher than usual here, as at Ausone, but it retains an excellent fresh feel. This is always my wine to buy from the Vauthier lineup for the 95% of us who can't afford Ausone, and here again it is gorgeous, with the most perfect line of sight to the generous black fruits, showing sapidity and juice. 100% new oak.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2019, Score: 17+

    This is a wonderfully complete wine with freshness and depth and also a lovely lifted perfume. The palate is not too tense and so it is easy to appreciate the black fruit and the finish is long and fine, without being too dry or hard. The oak, while powerful, is very well integrated in this wine.

Producer

Château Moulin St-Georges

Another château which falls under the Ausone umbrella, and like Ausone receives similar vinification. This includes cold maceration, a technique which gently extracts the colour and fruit before alcoholic fermentation.

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
