Tasting Notes
The limestone slopes of Moulin Saint-Georges allowed the Vauthiers to produce a wine with 3.51pH despite the warmth of the vintage. The nose is sweet and rich – with confit cherry, plum compote, cherry kernel and a hint of vanilla. The palate is fulsome with more of that ripe, generous fruit, cut by the surprising freshness and smooth tannins. Blend: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc

Initially you notice the toasty oak before moving to the incense, spice, flowers, and smoked plums in the nose. On the palate, the wine is creamy, supple, fresh and polished, leaving you with the sensation of lushness on the palate that carries through to the finish. 80% percent Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc create the blend. 14.5 ABV%, 3.52 Ph. Drink from 2026-2042.
A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Moulin Saint-Georges has a deep garnet-purple color. It bursts with bombastic scents of juicy black plums, blueberry pie, and warm cassis, leading to touches of cedar chest, menthol, and lavender. Big, rich, and full-bodied in the mouth, the palate is completely coated with black and blue fruits, supported by firm, velvety tannins, finishing long and decadent. It will need some time to come round, but promises to be a blockbuster!
Rocking Merlot notes of ripe black cherries, currants, smoked tobacco, and melted chocolate all emerge from the 2022 Château Moulin Saint Georges, a ripe, full-bodied, opulent, seamless 2020 based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It has the density and structure of the vintage and will have 15-20 years of overall longevity.
