Château Moulin Riche - Saint-Julien - Red - 2008 :

 

The Refined Elegance of Château Moulin Riche, Saint-Julien

Château Moulin Riche, long associated with the famed Château Léoville Poyferré, was re-established as a Grand Vin of Saint-Julien in 2009. It perfectly expresses its unique terroir of Garonne gravel, benefiting from the identical, impeccable standards of the Cuvelier family. This wine is a benchmark Saint-Julien, celebrated for its superb harmony between intensity and polished finesse.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile

A wine of deep ruby hue and profound aromatic complexity. The bouquet is a sophisticated blend of concentrated dark fruits-blackcurrant, damson, and cherry-complemented by the classic Médoc characteristics of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a creamy undertone from careful oak maturation.

• Mouthfeel: On the palate, it is full-bodied yet elegant. The tannins are beautifully integrated, fine-grained, and velvety, leading to a plush, structured mid-palate.
• Longevity: The finish is enduring and fresh, confirming its status as a superb claret with significant cellaring potential.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This wine should be served at 16°C-18°C. It is an ideal partner for rich, traditional British dishes.

• Decanting: Highly recommended to decant for up to two hours to allow the full aromatic complexity to unfold.
• Pairing: Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary, Beef Wellington, Fine Game Pie, Mature Cheddar or Comté.
