Super! De kleur is somber. De typisch bordelese neus toont fijne eiktoetsen, zachte vanille, kaneel en braambessen. Moulin Saint Georges is suave met rollend zwart fruit en toetsen van ceder en sigaardoos. De soepele tannine is heerlijk. De familie Vauthier spaarde geen moeite: dit is elegant, toonvast, zuiver en beklijvend. Lengte volgt op karrevrachten opulentie. De indruk is nooit flets of vermoeiend, wel integendeel: ragfijne zuren zorgen voor vitaliteit. Bravo aan Pauline en haar team. Ausone is eigenaar van deze 7 hectare sinds 1921. 80% Merlot en 20% “Cab Sav" of Cabernet Sauvignon. De Merlot werd geoogst op 28 september en 1 oktober, terwijl de Cabernet kon wachten tot 9 oktober. 100% nieuwe eik. IN DE PERS 93 Neal Martin - vinous.com (Maart 2021) The 2018 Moulin Saint-Georges has a broody, introspective bouquet, so I allowed it 90–120 minutes to open. It reveals enticing blackberry, seaweed and light graphite notes with aeration, perhaps a little more sophisticated than recent vintages of the Vauthier family’s estate. The immediate impression on the palate is the texture, which is satin-like and very harmonious. Veins of blue fruit infuse the black, and blood orange surfaces toward the finish, which is almost Burgundy in style. A wonderful Moulin Saint-Georges that will be difficult to resist. Drink 2023-2040. 92 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Maart 2021) The 2018 Moulin Saint-Georges is packed with inky blue fruit, lavender, spice, mocha and licorice. Succulent and racy to the core, the 2018 offers tons of immediacy and charm. Silky tannins, soft curves and tons of sheer allure make Moulin Saint-Georges a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next two decades. This joyous Saint-Émilion is a jewel of a wine. Drink 2024-2043. 89-92 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (April 2019) The 2018 Moulin Saint-Georges is plump, juicy and absolutely delicious. Although not especially complex, Moulin Saint-Georges has a sense of immediacy that is positively irresistible. Inky dark fruit, lavender, mint and licorice all flesh out in a juicy, lush Saint-Émilion that will drink well with minimal cellaring. 92-93 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2019) This shows brightness and firmness with lovely tannin and acidity balance to the ripe fruit. Racy at the end. 94 Jane Anson – decanter.com (April 2019) 93+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (April 2019) Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Moulin Saint-Georges has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, rolling effortlessly out of the glass with notes of black cherry compote, blueberry preserves and ripe plum, plus touches of pencil shavings and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate is coated with crunchy black fruits, supported by a racy line and just enough textural friction, finishing long and savory. It's delicious right now, but I suspect 5-7 years of cellaring is going to reveal a whole other pleasure level. Drink 2023-2040. 92-94 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (April 2019) 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. 92-94 Jeb Dunnuck – jebdunnuck.com (April 2019) A blend of 80/20 Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Château Moulin Saint-Georges comes from a vineyard just down the slope from Ausone, on the southern side of the village of Saint-Émilion. It’s a beautiful wine that has a smoky, dark-fruited style as well as notes of crushed rocks, white truffle, cedar, and spice. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and lightly textured on the palate, it shines for both its complexity and elegance, and will drink nicely for two decades or more. 17/20 Bettane & Desseauve (April 2019) 93 Jean-Marc Quarin – quarin.com (April 2019) 91-93 Roger Voss – wineenthusiast.com (April 2019) 91-93 Jeff Leve – winecellarinsider.com (April 2019) Moulin Saint GeorgesMoulin Saint Georges is een wijngaard van 7 hectare aan de voet van de helling van Ausone. Het is eveneens eigendom van de familie Vauthier en dat sinds 1921. Terecht wordt deze betaalbare wijn aanzien als een ‘Junior Ausone’. Wie Ausone niet kopen kan, komt met Moulin Saint Georges aardig in de buurt. VauthierAlle krediet voor de heropstanding van het grandioze terroir van Ausone komt toe aan Alain Vauthier. Er zijn geen externe consulenten op Ausone: de assemblages worden gedaan door Pauline Vauthier en Phillippe Baillarguet, de keldermeester sinds 1996. De familie Vauthier bezit 80 hectare in Saint Emilion. Naast Ausone zitten ook de Fonbel, Haut Simard, Simard, Moulin Saint Georges en La Clotte in hun portefeuille. |
