critic reviews
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.
Moreish, well paced, skilfully constructed, limestone DNA with its slate and chalk that scrapes without being overly intrusive, and the fruits just offer so much juice. Definitely one I would like to have in my cellar, very easy to recommend. 100% new oak barrel, and you barely feel it. 30hl/h yield, harvest September 11 to 18. In organic conversion; 3.5ph. In the family since 1921.
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.
