2010 September Wine Club Cellar Selection
Chateau Moulinet sits in the northwestern part of Pomerol, an area known for its clay and sandy soils. These soils differ from that in the eastern part of the commune, where gravel is more prevalent among the clay; thus the wines from the northwestern portion are lighter and (some say) more elegant in style.
At our Grand Tasting last year, we showed the Chateau Moulinet among other pricier Pomerols from the 2005 vintage, and time and time again it drew rave reviews from our customers for its smoothness, delicacy, and long gentle finish.
The Wine Spectator awarded this bottling 91 points, noting that it "displays subtle yet complex aromas of blackberry, mineral and chocolate-coated cherry. Full bodied with ultrafine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very pretty and refined. Best after 2011." Reviews Wine Spectator 91 Points
