"This 7 hectare vineyard adjoins Ausone and has the same owner and winemaker. The Vauthier family have owned it since 1921. "Readers should think of it as a junior Ausone" says Robert Parker. MSG always provides some of the best value in Saint Emilion. Those of us who cannot obtain or afford a case of Ausone should consider Moulin St Georges as it offers more than a hint of the Ausone style at a fraction of the price. Made from 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, yields only 32 hl/ha. Like Ausone, it is elevaged in 100% new oak barrels. Production 2500 cases. Pure black cherry fruit. Dense, focussed, layered, textured. Supple and sexy. Very good.Score: 16.5/20 Decanter"
"Tasted at Chateau Ausone.the Moulin Saint Georges has a well defined, ripe, supple bouquet with notes of cassis, black plum, maraschino cherry and a touch of orange zest: harmonious and lifted. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, a slight creaminess to the texture but it is not overdone. Very well balanced with fine tannins, very focused and lithe with pure red-berried fruits laced with a soupcon of vanilla pod towards the finish. Excellent. Tasted March 2010."
Score: 91-93/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com
"Incredibly deep, teeth-staining colour, with lashings of oak and fruit to match, but this is a St Emilion that manages to be elegant despite its power and concentration. The perfume is a violet-scented delight, the tannins are well integrated, the oak is deftly handled and the fruit combines notes of redcurrant, cassis and blackberry with a touch of green pepper. 15+ years." Score: 94/100 Tim Atkin MW
