Merlot 85% Cabernet Franc 15%
We have not been able to taste this wine. Moulin Saint-Georges offers excellent value in Bordeaux. The vineyard sits at the bottom of the slope which is home to Ch. Ausone; the Vauthier family own and make the wine at both properties. While Moulin Saint-Georges’ aspect is more westerly and flatter, the vineyard is still located on clay and limestone soils. These are well-tuned wines that will age beautifully over a decade, with the thumbprint of Ausone.

About this wine
Merlot
The most widely planted grape in Bordeaux and a grape that has been on a relentless expansion drive throughout the world in the last decade. Merlot is adaptable to most soils and is relatively simple to cultivate. It is a vigorous naturally high yielding grape that requires savage pruning - over-cropped Merlot-based wines are dilute and bland. It is also vital to pick at optimum ripeness as Merlot can quickly lose its varietal characteristics if harvested overripe.
