Château Moulin Saint-Georges
About Château Moulin Saint-Georges
Château Moulin Saint-Georges is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru with more than a passing association to the mighty Château Ausone. Located just 500m away from each other, the two properties fall under the stewardship of the legendary Vauthier family and even share the same winemaking team and winery facilities. Whilst Moulin Saint-Georges' soils are not identical to Ausone, the team pays no less care nor attention to this clay and limestone terroir, producing remarkably solid and consistent reds year after year.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-89)Red-ruby. Sappy aromas of black- and redcurrant, cola, grilled nuts and sexy oak spices. Supple and suave, with a restrained sweetness in the middle. Actually a bit sullen today, but there ripe berry, licorice and chocolate lurking. Finishes with ripe, chocolatey tannins. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90)Bright red-ruby. Vibrant nose offers blackberry, licorice, mint and minerals. Juicy, penetrating dark berry and crushed rock flavors lifted by violet. Pure and sweet, with firm acids and calcaire energy contributing grip and clarity. The tannins are firm but not hard. An excellent, ageworthy vintage for this Alain Vauthier property, which faces his Chateau Ausone. |

Wine Advocate (94+)This property is owned and managed by the Vauthier family of Château Ausone. The 2015 Moulin Saint-Georges is blended of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 85% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it reveals a gorgeous plum preserves, licorice and blackberry pie-laced nose with touches of cedar chest, cigar box, black olives and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and very firmly textured with grainy tannins, it has a lively backbone supporting the generous black fruit, finishing with lingering savory notes. Give it a good 5 years or more in bottle and drink it over the next 20+ years. |

Decanter (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. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2019 Moulin St Georges has turned out brilliantly, offering up aromas of cherries, wild berries, violets, sweet spices and raw cocoa, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant palate, with a concentrated core of fruit, tangy acids and beautifully refined tannins. From a seven-hectare, west-facing vineyard opposite Ausone that always ripens some 10 days later than Ausone itself, Moulin St Georges has come into its own in this warm, dry vintage, delivering a wine of notable energy and finesse. |

Decanter (94)So full of deeply-drawn berry fruit, fresh and juicy with touches of liquorice bud and rosemary, thirst quenching and yet thirst inducing in that amazing way that limestone can both refresh and make you thirst for more at the same time. An excellent Moulin St Georges, and such a step up from the more sandy soils that you find at Fonbel and the two Simard estates in this year's range of Vauthier-owned wines that this alone can help you understand how to navigate 2020. |
