Note di degustazione
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. 18 months in 85% new oak. This is always a big step up in a tasting of the Vauthier stable and the 2012 has commendable focus on the nose with pure well-defined berry fruit. The palate is structured and compact with a crisp, fresh finish. FINE+RARE

Tasted blind. Sweet, sickly nose. Really rather overdone with some sourness on the palate. Very drying end. (JR)
The 2012 Moulin Saint-Georges is plump, juicy and forward, all of which make it a terrific choice for drinking over the next handful of years. Violets, lavender, spices and blue-fleshed fruits abound. Supple and sensual, with silky tannins and terrific overall balance, the 2012 is showing very well today. Although not the last word in complexity, Moulin Saint-Georges is quite delicious.
An excellent wine from the Alain Vauthier family, this wine, which tends to be dominated by Merlot with some Cabernet Franc, has a dense, ruby/purple color and a nice sweet nose of blackcurrants, raspberry and incense. It is medium-bodied with excellent concentration and a long, nicely textured heady finish. A sleeper of the vintage. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
