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 | "The 2016 Moulin Riche is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot and matured in 30% new oak. It had a very opulent, ravishing bouquet with perhaps just a little more volatile acidity than some of its peers, although that will be contained by the time it is in bottle (it is not something that particularly bothers me in a wine's infancy). The palate is very smooth on the entry with succulent black cherries and black plums, a smear of vanilla and a gentle grip on the minerally finish. This will be a seductive Deuxième vin that should give a decade's worth of drinking pleasure." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "This shows focus and precision with currant, dark-berry and basil-leaf character on both the nose and palate. Full-bodied, tight and precise. Try after 2022." - James Suckling "Quite rich start and then it's fresh and tight. Just a bit green on the end but winning beforehand with good 'minerality'." - Jancis Robinson "In 2016 Moulin Riche is absolutely gorgeous. Fresh, vibrant and full of energy, the 2016 is impressive today. The wine appears to have shed some baby fat and gained in aromatic complexity over the last two years. Sweet red-toned fruit, rose petal, mint and chalk lend understatement to the classy, mid-weight Saint-Julien. The 2016 was bottled at the end of May (earlier than many other Left Bank wines) and might be entering a period of closure. Still, I find a lot to admire." - Vinous "This sports a fresh and pure profile, with a lovely beam of cassis, blueberry and raspberry fruit flavors, carried by light-handed toast and anise accents. The finish has a tug of bramble for energy, but this is ideal for near-term drinking while waiting for the bigger wines. Drink now through 2029. 5,417 cases made." - Wine Spectator |
