Tasting Notes

Very dark and glossy. Intense sweet oak in evidence on the nose. Very polished and well made because on the palate the fruit trumps the oak. Glossy, ambitious stuff that seems to be much more ambitious than it used to be.

Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2023-2035 Date: 01 April 2016

A lovely nose with good quality bright strawberry jammy red fruits and cooked plums. Tighter on the palate with vanilla oak and a lightly spiced, dry finish.

Score: 89 - 92 Albany Vintners, - Date: 01 April 2016

The 2015 Moulin Saint-Georges is powerful and ripe, with plenty of forward fruit. One of the more exuberant wines in the Vauthier lineup, the Moulin Saint-Georges offers striking depth and tons of richness, especially at its level. Plum, black cherry, scorched earth, tobacco and leather develop in the glass. The Moulin is a bit rustic and burly, but that is in relative terms, as it has so much to offer. The 2015 is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Score: 89 - 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Date: 01 April 2016

The 2015 Moulin St Georges is a blend of 80% Merlot picked 2, 5 and 10 October and 20% Cabernet Franc picked on 5 October, matured in 85% new oak. At the moment, the bouquet is showing the new oak component, with broody black fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied and seems to have absorbed the wood quicker than the nose, smooth and sensual with touches of dark chocolate lining the long finish. Give this 4-6 years in bottle.
