The 2020 Moulin Saint Georges has a more austere, introspective bouquet compared to its peers. Despite its tertiary style, there is fruit here; it just needs time to unlock it. The palate is medium-bodied, delineated and refreshingly saline, with fine-grained tannins and a dash of white pepper toward the finish. This is yet another classy Saint-Émilion to add to the roster. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Drinking range: 2027 - 2048 Rating: 93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Nov 2024)

Very pure fruit with black currant, raspberry, orange peel and flower aromas and flavors. It’s medium- to full-bodied. Velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Dark chocolate. Fresh acidity. Drinkable, but will age very, very well. Drinking range: 2028 - 2040 Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2023)
The 2020 Moulin Saint-Georges is soft, fruity and easygoing, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, but even so, Moulin Saint-Georges is a wine of reserve and nuance. There’s terrific energy and vibrancy here. I would not be in any rush to open this. This gorgeous, under the radar Saint-Émilion is not at all showy, but it will appeal tremendously to readers who like firm, classically built wines. I can’t wait to see how it ages. This is a major Sleeper. Drinking range: 2028 - 2040 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
What amazing texture, creamy and yet tight, with waves of violet and peony aromatics, smoked sandalwood, incense, raspberry fruit, flaky pastry, damson fruits, vanilla bean and espresso, grips on with fine salt-tinged tannins. A touch more Merlot than usual in the blend, because the Cabernet Franc had more trouble in the heat. 3.5ph. 100% new oak, an upscore from En Primeur, but I loved it then also, this is just the most wonderful estate, with clay-dominant soils that go down around 1.5m before hitting the limestone bedrock.

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.
