Note di degustazione
The 2015 La Mouleyre is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with aromas of baked plums, spice cake and Christmas pudding with touches of licorice, tar and hoisin plus a waft of Indian spices. Big, rich, full and opulent with plenty of fruitcake-inspired flavors and a chewy backbone, it finishes long and spicy.

The luxury cuvee is the 2015 Château Cap De Faugeres La Mouleyre which comes from older vines (80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc) and was brought up all in once used barrels. It’s another cuvee I was able to taste multiple times and this beauty never failed to impress. Notes of blueberries, incense, violets and dried flowers all emerge from this beautifully ripe, full-bodied, opulent, yet elegant 2015 that’s already a joy to drink. With sweet tannin and a sexy, forward style, drink it anytime over the coming 15+ years. Tasted twice. This 46-hectare estate is in the Côtes de Castillon appellation, on the right bank and east of Saint-Emilion. The wines are released exclusively through merchant Jeffrey Davies and offer serious bang for the buck.
The 2015 La Mouleyre emerges from Côtes de Castillon side of Silvio Denz's property. Ripe, exotic and totally unctuous, the Mouleyre captures all of the intensity and pure richness of the year in spades. A host of mocha, tobacco, smoke, licorice and menthol notes meld into the deep finish. La Mouleyre is roughly 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from parcels that sit on the border with the Saint-Etienne-de-Lisse sector of St.-Émilion.
This is so cool. Very fine and hip with beautiful fruit and finesse. Full body, really refined. This is age all in 50 hectoliter casks. 90% Merlot and rest Cabernet Franc. Purity. 18,000 bottle made. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
