Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Moulin Saint-Georges is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and slips easily out of the glass with lively scents if Morello cherries, mulberries and black raspberries plus hints of dark chocolate, camphor, tilled soil and truffles. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and vivacious with plenty of spritely red and black berry flavors and a soft texture, finishing with lovely purity.

The dark-berry and wet-earth character is pretty. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Solid acidity. - jamessuckling.com, April 2018

The 2017 Moulin Riche is pliant, supple and quite expressive. Gravel, smoke, spice and new leather give the 2017 lovely aromatic presence to play off the supple, racy fruit. Soft contours and silky tannins give the wine considerable appeal, even in the early going. The blend is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. - vinous.com, May 2018

One of the best values on the Right Bank, this is produced by the Vauthier family of Ausone fame. Ripe, bright red fruits and a touch of herbal character. A little austere compared to previous vintages. - April 2018

The 2017 Moulin Saint-Georges was picked on 26 and 29 September. It has a pretty black cherry and cassis-tinged bouquet, a little tight at the moment, a tad pinched compared to previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, dark berry fruit tinged with brown spices, cohesive towards the finish but it just needs to muster more complexity overall. This year, I much prefer Vauthiers’ La Clotte. - vinous.com, May 2018

Tasted blind. Mid ruby colour. Powerful aromatics. Cedar, savoury spices and ripe red fruit. The palate is refined, with fairly silky tannins and charming, cool red fruit. Slick. A little bite from more austere tannin and acids on the back end, but this retains good balance through to a cool, lightly spiced finish. (TP)

Deep cherry red. Spicy, lively blackcurrant fruit on the nose. Lots of sweet fruit and sweet oak on the palate. Juicy fruit in the middle. Bright and lively. Just a little too sweet-tasting for refreshment (hence the minus). Tannins a touch chewy but not at all tough. - Julia Harding, jancisrobinson.com, April 2018
