2020 Chateau Moulin Saint-Georges, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 1x300cl

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.

Vinous 92-94

The 2020 Moulin Saint-Georges was picked 18 and 21 September for the Merlot and on 1 October for the Cabernet Franc, matured for 18 months in barrel. This has an expressive bouquet, very floral with rose petal and iris flower, blueberry and blackberry fruit bursting from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe tannins, fleshy and with ample substance on the finish that exerts a gentle grip, a touch of salinity on the aftertaste. Very fine.
