2015 | Château Moulin Saint-Georges | Saint-Emilion

Bright and fresh both nose and palate has a mix of red fruits. Richer and sweeter in the middle the ripe fruits supported by fine tannins the ripeness giving richness and depth on the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Independet: A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Moulin Saint Georges is medium to deep garnet in color. It waltzes out with notions of cedar, tilled soil, and fallen leaves, giving way to a core of stewed black plums, dried mulberries, and fruit cake, with a touch of tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of black fruit preserves and savory accents, with plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and opulent.

• James Suckling: Very fresh and clear with wonderful brightness of dark fruits. Full body, fine and chewy tannins.

Producer Information

Anybody who has read about the vineyards of St Emilion will probably have learned something of this wine region’s ancient Gallo-Roman heritage. There was Ausonius of course, for whom Château Ausone is purportedly named, although I am not certain I have been convinced that this is anything more than myth or legend. There is more tangible evidence of Gallo-Roman occupation though. Indeed, the area around Château La Gaffelière, Château Saint Georges Côte Pavie and Château Moulin Saint-Georges seems to be littered with ancient artefacts, largely dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries. Clues as to why this should be came to light at various points during the 20th century, and we have Léo de Malet Roquefort of Château La Gaffelière to thank for one such discovery, made in the late 1960s.It was February 1969, and Léo de Malet Roquefort was out surveying his vineyard, intent on planting up a small parcel which at that time lay fallow. As he dug into the soil, however, he had hardly begun when he unearthed brightly coloured tesserae mosaics.
