Tasted at Chateau Ausone, the Moulin St Georges has a ripe blackberry and raspberry scented bouquet with touches of smoke and sous-bois - all very well defined but inward looking at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. This is very well balanced with ample freshness and vitality, imbued with a superb crescendo of assertive red fruits on the beautifully controlled finish. Alain Vauthier has fashioned a superb Moulin St Georges that offer drinking pleasure over the next ten or fifteen years. Tasted November 2012.
Proprietor Alain Vauthier has turned out a solidly constructed wine that is dense purple in color and exhibits subtle smoke, graphite and blue and black fruits in a medium-bodied, relatively linear style. Drink it over the next decade.
This is crazy stuff with a super lively acidity and then plenty of fruit and alcohol. Minerally and fruity at the same time. Excellent purity. One of the best ever from here.
Dark purple. Muscular nose. Very rich though a little dry on the end. Needs time - bit chewy, dry minerals on the end.
Tiny volume due to coulure. More structured than the '09. Crushed raspberry aroma but with a citrus-like freshness. Medium to full-bodied, smooth texture and tannins and line of acidity that masks the 14.5% alcohol. Long finish. Drink 2017-2028.
This wine's tartness and high acids were surprising, but I was only able to taste it one time, so perhaps the barrel sample I saw was slightly off. Notes of licorice, blueberries and black currants are attractive, but the acid levels were sharp and distracting. This offering may have come out of malolactic fermentation very late and consequently, the wine is not easy to evaluate at present.
A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this has a very tight nose but give it some time because there is some lovely blackberry, raspberry and wild hedgerow aromas waiting to emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very good weight with blackberry, briary, minerals and a touch of plum. Very well defined on the finish. Excellent. Tasted March 2011.
