Château Moulin Riche 2018

Le millésime 2018 est sorti en livrable lors d’une année particulièrement importante pour la famille Cuvelier. En effet, elle marque le centenaire de l’acquisition du Château Léoville Poyferré 2d Grand Cru Classé, et du Château Moulin Riche. Intimement liés depuis le 19ème siècle, leurs vins reflètent toute la richesse et la diversité des terroirs de l’appellation Saint-Julien.

Fidèles à l’esprit de la famille, les vins des propriétés sont le fruit d’un travail exigeant et leurs styles s’affirment sous des habillages revisités à l’élégance racée, empreints de modernité.

L’avis de la presse

Vinous Media – Antonio Galloni : 92 (30.03.2021)

« A vintage in which Petit Verdot featured heavily here, at 17% of the blend. This has now been resting in bottle for a year, and it remains purely fashioned and well perfumed. It opens with a dense and smoky character, with dark liquorice, currant, crushed chalk and white pepper from the Cabernet, with hints of scented violet and lavender. A richly polished palate follows, seamless and integrated, with fine energy and fresh acidity. It has impressive drive for such a rich and warm vintage. A very good result which will doubtless give plenty of future pleasure, although you could pull the cork now if you were in the mood. »

« The 2018 Château Moulin Riche is a beauty. Absolutely loaded with notions of blueberries, cassis, candied orange, violets, and cedary spice, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness that carries plenty of polished tannins, no hard edges, a big, layered mid-palate, and a great finish. Beautifully done, this perfumed, exotic Saint Julien will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and keep for 15+. »

« The 2018 Moulin Riche has an attractive and well-defined bouquet of precise blackberry and briary aromas; cedar and light minty notes develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins; there is wonderful balance to this Moulin Riche. Quite sweet and velvety on the finish, with a touch of dark chocolate. Seductive. »
