Moulin Saint Georges 2019

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. Drink Date: 2025 - 2055

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. 2026-2050

Pretty nose of wild blueberries, cherries, iron, cloves, pine cones, dried flowers and chocolate. It’s medium-bodied with a vibrant, spicy and fragrant palate, framed by sleek, silky tannins. Drink from 2025.

The 2019 Moulin Saint-Georges is composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. 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.
