Chateau Moulin Saint Georges 2019
Chateau Moulin Saint-Georges名聲始於1921年,當時由Alain Vauthier所收購。酒莊位於Saint-Emilion,佔地7公頃,葡萄園位於著名的ChâteauAusone 對面,同屬於Vauthier家族擁有,Vauthier在該區非常顯赫有名。 葡萄園位於面向西南的「Pavie」斜坡上(Pavie Slope),該斜坡上葡萄藤平均年齡為26年。土壤以黏土和石灰岩為主,是Saint-Emilion Grand Cru葡萄產區的特色風土。
種植Merlot與Cabernet Franc。 Vauthier認為,他的葡萄酒質量直接取決於葡萄藤的品質,因此產量保持極低,以便濃縮風味,所有葡萄都是人工採摘,以確保只使用最好的葡萄生產葡萄酒,而且葡萄酒有很強的陳年能力。

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.

Tasted blind at Southwold. Deep colour. Fragrant with blue fruit, cherry blossom and darker plum tones on the nose. The palate matches energy and intensity, a ripe core lined with refreshing acidity. This is perfectly poised, harnessing the vintage with a succulent core yet direct and driven. Tones of graphite and an unerring perception of coolness throughout make this very moreish. The tannins are seamless, framing the fruit gently. The long finish is lined with unobtrusive hints of spice - this has the potential to age well in the cellar but will drink well within the next 2-3 years. Excellent .

The 2019 Moulin Saint-Georges has lilting bouquet of raspberry preserve, cranberry and light undergrowth scents that gain intensity with aeration. A touch of orange pith emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh, with supple tannins and a fine-grained, quite cohesive finish. There is a little more sophistication and elegance embroidered into this Saint-Émilion than recent vintages.

Deep garnet-purple in color, it storms out of the glass with notes of baked plum, stewed blueberries, and fruitcake, plus suggestions of vanilla pod and cinnamon stick. The medium to full-bodied palate has a racy backbone with fine-grained tannins and a long perfumed finish.
