Chateau Moulin Saint-Georges, St. Emilion / 1999 / 75cl

Chateau Moulin Saint-Georges sits facing Château Ausone, located in the southern part of Saint-Émilion. A stone’s throw from the entrance to the village, this exclusive property came into the Vauthier family’s possession in 1921, now passed into the care of the fifth generation.

The Château Moulin-Saint-Georges vineyard covers 8 hectares in which Merlot reigns supreme, alongside a few plots of Cabernet Franc. On this signature clay-limestone terroir, planting density ranges from 5500 to 12,600 vines per hectare. The wine that emerges from this exceptional terroir is the result of intense work on the soil and the vines. After manual harvesting and sorting by plot, the musts are fermented traditionally in stainless-steel tanks and then aged in 100% new barrels.

The final blend is made up of around 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, in which power meets freshness, the charm of the Merlot blends with the depth of the Cabernet Franc. Moulin-Saint-Georges is one of Saint-Émilion’s best kept secrets.
