“Owned by the Vauthier family, this wine receives the same care and attention as the historic Ausone vineyard. It opens harmoniously with notes of ripe black cherry and blackcurrant, featuring crisp acidity, a hint of chalky minerality, and a medium-bodied finish. It will be best enjoyed over the next 7 to 8 years. ” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 16,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2014 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the wine:
Refined, sophisticated, and elegant with a lovely finish, this wine exudes class.
About the estate:
Moulin Saint-Georges is to the grands crus of Saint-Émilion what Ausone is to the First Growths, especially since it belongs to the Vauthier family. It is managed according to principles similar to those of Ausone. While the terroir is not the same and the wine lacks the same finesse, the overall harmony is evident in every vintage. This wine deserves better than its classification.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2015 guide) 2** stars (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
Moulin Saint-Georges’s vineyard spans 7 hectares of clay-limestone soil, 80% of which is planted with Merlot. Located across from Château Ausone, it has belonged to the Vauthier family since 1921, just like its illustrious neighbor. The wine opens with rich notes of ripe fruit, warm oak, and sweet spices; upon aeration, delicate floral (violet) and peppery aromas emerge. The palate displays density and power, yet also great elegance, supported by a well-balanced, lively structure and fine, refined tannins. A wine that is both compact and elegant, generous and fresh, and undoubtedly suitable for long-term aging.
