Tasting notes
The 2025 Moulin Saint-Georges was picked between September 11 and 18 and aged for 18 months entirely in new oak. Incidentally, the vines here are under organic conversion. Firstly, the oak is neatly integrated on the nose, in fact, you would guess there is much less than 100%, the brambly red berry fruit mixed with sous-bois and leather coming through nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, with pliant tannins, very pure and refined, more blueberry and cassis fruit coming through with a rounded, smooth finish that is oddly just a little Petit Verdot-like (none here, incidentally). This should age well in bottle, but will be seductive in its flush of youth.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc from vines just across from Ausone, the 2025 Château Moulin Saint-Georges will spend 18 months in new barrels, with the Merlot harvested September 11-12 and the Cabernet Franc September 17-18. It's another pure, focused, elegant wine in the Vauthier lineup, offering cassis and black raspberry fruit on the nose alongside lots of graphite, crushed stone, and violet-driven nuances with beautifully integrated oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and balanced, with ripe tannins and nicely integrated acidity.
The 2025 Moulin Saint-Georges is a delight. Plump and juicy, with lovely forward fruit, the 2025 offers up generous blue/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, mint and cinnamon. Soft, supple curves add to its considerable appeal. This inviting Saint-Émilion is a total charmer. Best of all, it should drink well with minimal cellaring.
Offering up notes of minty berries, spices and new oak, the 2025 Moulin St Georges is medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with ripe tannins and the bright acids that always characterize this west-facing site opposite Ausone.
