2006 Ch. Moulin St. Georges, St Emilion

Owned by Alain Vauthier of Ch. Ausone fame, Moulin St Georges is in its own way just as impressive, displaying all the seductive panache of its elder sibling but with the volume (and price!) turned down. This is gorgeously aromatic with spicy rich black fruit and chocolate truffles on the nose. The palate is luscious and exotic, packed full of blackberries and cream with hints of coffee, dark chocolate and coconut.The Vauthiers have produced another fabulous, great value wine in 2006, and with only 3000 cases or so produced, we recommend you snap one up quick.

A sleeper of the vintage, regardless of vintage conditions, this St.-Emilion owned by Alain Vauthier (also the proprietor of Ausone) offers a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet notes of incense, spring flowers, blueberries, black currants, and crushed rocks/minerals. The 2006 is deep and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin, and a layered mouthfeel. It should last for 10-15 years.
