80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Fabulous nose, very oaky, rich and velvety, creamy fruit texture. Very fine tannins, intense concentration of well-delineated juicy black fruit. Compact and tannic, it will be a long keeper, but this is my kind of wine. Rating: 92 L&S (Apr 2007)

The nose has a light flowery raspberry character. The sweetness that is there on the nose comes out on the palate, not a heavy weight but attractive and with time the firmness towards the back will allow the fruit to really shine. 2011-18 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)
Bright red-ruby. Vibrant nose offers blackberry, licorice, mint and minerals. Juicy, penetrating dark berry and crushed rock flavors lifted by violet. Pure and sweet, with firm acids and calcaire energy contributing grip and clarity. The tannins are firm but not hard. An excellent, ageworthy vintage for this Alain Vauthier property, which faces his Chateau Ausone. Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jun 2009)
Lots of raspberry and blackberry character, with mineral undertones. Full-bodied and chewy, with slightly sharp tannins, but an interesting style. Rating: 85-88 James Suckling, The Wine Spectator (May 2007)
Château Moulin Saint Georges
Owned by Alain Vauthier, Château Moulin Saint Georges is situated in Saint-Emilion and covers 7 hectares. The vineyards are well sited on the south-west facing 'Pavie' slope. The average age of the vines on this slope is 26 years old, and they are planted at a density of 6500 vines/hectare. Vauthier believes that the quality of his wine is a direct result of how well the vines are tended to, therefore yields are kept extremely low in order to concentrate the flavour, and all grapes are hand-harvested to ensure only the best grapes are used in production.
