Wine Advocate 91 byLisa Perrotti-Brownthe3/17/2020 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. Drinking Window : 2020 - 2037. 91+
Vinous 90 byAntonio Gallonithe3/11/2020 The 2017 Moulin Saint-Georges has turned out nicely. Plump, juicy and forward, the 2017 will drink nicely right out of the gate. Inky blue and purplish fruit, licorice, spice and floral overtones are front and center in this mid-weight, supple Saint-Émilion from the Vauthier family.
Jamessuckling.com 93 byJames Sucklingthe1/13/2020 Extremely perfumed and beautiful with cherries and flowers. Hints of light chocolate. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a tangy, acidity-driven finish. Lots of tension. Exciting. Drink after 2022.
Le Point 15,5-16 byJacques Dupontthe6/20/2018 Fruits rouges, belle attaque, fraîche, tanins fins, tendu, joli fruit, gourmand, très fruits rouges, un vin avec de l’éclat.
Vinifera 90-92 byJacques Perrinthe5/28/2018 Nez discret sur les fruits rouges, linéaire dans son expression. Bouche dotée d’une vivifiante fraîcheur, élancée. Le tanin est fin, précédent une finale souple et fruitée. Joli vin de plaisir.
Vinous 89-91 byAntonio Gallonithe5/15/2018 The 2017 Moulin Saint-Georges is gorgeous. Pliant, open-knit and seductive, the 2017 offers lovely depth in its inky blue/purplish fruit and floral notes. Silky tannins add to the wine's inviting personality. This supple, juicy Saint-Émilion from the Vauthier family will drink well upon release. Best of all, it should be a terrific value.
The Wine Cellar Insider 90-92 byJeff Levethe5/11/2018 Kirsch, flowers, vanilla and plum notes create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is round, soft and fruity. The tannins are gentle, allowing you to focus attention on the sweet, juicy finish. 80% percent Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc create the blend.
Vinous 87-89 byNeal Martinthe5/1/2018 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.
Wine Advocate 87-89 byLisa Perrotti-Brownthe4/27/2018 The 2017 Moulin St Georges is medium garnet-purple in color with lovely notes of red currants, black cherries, black raspberries and allspice with touches of roses and garrigue. Medium-bodied with a solid backbone of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, it finishes long.
Decanter.com 90 byJane Ansonthe4/25/2018 This has a bounce to the tannins, and again the austerity of the vintage is evident. There's no over ripeness to the fruit but there are attractive layers of soft damson and textured gooseberry and redcurrant fruits, with floral aromatics lifting everything up. 100% new oak with a low and light toast. 20% of the crop was lost to frost, with no second generation fruit used, so this vintage will see 19,000 bottles instead of a more normal 25,000. Drinking Window 2023 - 2035
Wine Enthusiast 86-88 byRoger Vossthe4/17/2018 This is a simple wine, full of attractive berry fruits backed by gentle tannins. It has lively acidity as well as a soft texture, it will be ready to drink soon.
Jamessuckling.com 89-90 byJames Sucklingthe4/6/2018 The dark-berry and wet-earth character is pretty. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Solid acidity.
