Gorgeous black and blue fruits, graphite, tobacco, and violet notes emerge from the 2020 Château Moulin Saint Georges, a rich, full-bodied, beautifully balanced blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. It's one of the standouts in the lineup, and while I'd happily drink a bottle today, it's going to benefit from just 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.

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

The 2020 Moulin Saint-Georges has perhaps the most precocity amongst Vauthier's portfolio this vintage with upfront, quite bold macerated black cherries, kirsch and touches of melted tar. It's the kind of nose that wants to be loved. The palate is very pliant on the entry, with fine tannins that frame a sweet core of black fruit, tapering slightly towards the finish. Modest grip, more impressive in terms of salinity rather than substance, it's a sure-footed Moulin-Saint-Georges

The 2020 Moulin St Georges is more marked by its élevage than its brilliant 2019 predecessor (a wine I purchased for my own cellar). Offering up aromas of plums, cherries and spices mingled with prominent notes of coconut and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and racy, reflecting its west-facing limestone terroir, concluding with a saline, somewhat oak-inflected finish that is likely to become better integrated with a bit of bottle age.
