Over het wijnhuis | Het etiket van Château Moulin Riche lijkt als twee druppels water op het etiket van Château Léoville Poyferré. Niet gek, want beide chateaux zijn in handen van dezelfde familie. Moulin Riche werd jarenlang als (onofficiële) tweede wijn van Léoville Poyferré gezien, maar sinds de legendarische vintage van 2009 wordt de wijn onder eigen naam uitgebracht. |

Awards | "A tangy and fresh red with dark berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. Medium-bodied, firm and bright with lively tannins that give this lift and energy." - James Suckling "57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 12% Petit Verdot. Dark like black-cherry skins. Smells less scented than the M de Ch Moulin Riche but still powerful. More dark and cedary with all that Cabernet Sauvignon. A big wine but with finely dry tannin texture, which brings an elegance to the power. And the alcohol is surprisingly well integrated. Chewy, deep and tannic but not tough. Not particularly refreshing but then it is 2018. Not for wimps. Needs time." - Jancis Robinson "Ripe and open-knit, with a mix of dark plum and fig flavors mixed with black licorice and apple wood notes. Already approachable but has the spine for some modest aging too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028." - Wine Spectator "An extremely fruit-forward wine with plenty of plum, raspberry and damson, this is a lovely Moulin Riche full of exuberant, gourmet touches, reflecting the house style yet maintaining the freshness you want from the appellation. The harvest took three weeks instead of the usual 10 days, as they allowed each plot to really get to the ripeness that they wanted. Yield of 43l/ha. 3.7pH. 80IPT. 1% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drinking Window 2025 - 2037" - Decanter "The 2018 Moulin Riche is a dark, sensual beauty. Blackberry, chocolate, spice, new leather and menthol all meld together effortlessly. Time in the glass brings out pretty floral overtones along with redder tonalities of fruit. This is an especially unctuous, racy style. There is no arguing with the wine's balance or sheer appeal. The 2018 can be enjoyed now and for another 15 years or so, maybe more." - Vinous "A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 12% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Moulin Riche has a deep garnet-purple color and vivacious notes of blackcurrant pastilles, blackberry pie and plum preserves, plus suggestions of wild sage, graphite and unsmoked cigars. The medium to full-bodied palate bursts with lively black fruit flavors, supported by grainy tannins and hints of freshness, finishing with an herbal skip in its step." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
