Château Moulin de la Rose is a wine made on Grand Cru soils, by an owner who has run Grand Cru properties, from a family that has Bordeaux wine running through its veins and a consultant winemaker responsible for the success of 4 of the 5 first growths. It is made up of many parcels of vines that touch such prestigious St. Julien neighbors as Leoville Barton, Gruaud Larose, Beychevelle and Talbot. The 2009 is elegant and refined with gorgeous aromas of fresh dark cherries, cassis, pretty spring florals, smoke, tobacco and minerals. Boasting a medium to full body with fine grained tannins this shows excellent focus and balance with a rock solid structure. The finish is remarkable with dark fruits lingering on and on. Still extremely young and will require 3-5 years of bottle age. Composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
