Château Moulin Saint Georges is an 8-hectare family estate in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, acquired in 1921 by the Vauthier family, owners of the legendary Château Ausone. Planted on clay-limestone terroir 200 metres south of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, the estate produces a classic blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc crafted with the same rigour and precision as Ausone. Sometimes referred to as "baby Ausone", this confidential cru of approximately 3,000 cases per year embodies the understated excellence of Bordeaux's Right Bank.

L'histoire du domaine

The history of Château Moulin Saint Georges is rooted in a viticultural heritage far older than its association with the Vauthier family. The area where the estate stands, near Château La Gaffelière and Château Saint Georges Côte Pavie, is rich in Gallo-Roman artefacts dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries, evidence of millennia-old viticulture. A mill, once part of the Saint-Georges fiefdom, stood where the estate's cellar now lies. The Vauthier family acquired the property in 1921, well before securing full ownership of Château Ausone in 1997 — making Moulin Saint Georges the first estate in this unbroken line of winegrowers established in Saint-Émilion since 1690. The vineyard, situated just below the Ausone plateau and visible from it, has passed through the decades with remarkable consistency, cultivated with care by successive family generations. Today, Pauline, Édouard and Constance Vauthier, representing the eleventh generation, carry forward this legacy across a portfolio of six family properties.

Le terroir

The Château Moulin Saint Georges vineyard covers 8 hectares located 200 metres south of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, immediately below the Ausone limestone plateau. The parcels rest on characteristic Right Bank clay-limestone terroir, with predominantly south-west and west-facing exposures. This soil, composed of clay over limestone bedrock, provides optimal natural drainage thanks to the presence of the Fongaban stream, which has flowed for millennia and bears witness to the site's geological antiquity. Planting density ranges from 5,500 to 12,600 vines per hectare depending on the parcel, reflecting a rigorous viticultural approach tailored to each section of the vineyard. The average vine age stands between 30 and 45 years, conferring concentration and depth to the fruit. The vineyard is farmed traditionally: ploughing, double guyot pruning, green harvesting, leaf-stripping and manual picking. The varietal composition is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, a classic Saint-Émilion blend that allows the limestone to express itself fully while offering structure and elegance.

Les vins

Château Moulin Saint Georges produces a single cuvée under the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, with a confidential production of approximately 3,000 cases per year (around 25,000 bottles). The blend is built on a classic varietal composition of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, sourced from mature vines planted on clay-limestone. Vinification is carried out by the same team that crafts Château Ausone, employing identical methods: rigorous sorting, vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a one-month cuvaison, malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Ageing extends over 18 months in an average of 80 to 85% new barrels, occasionally 100% in exceptional vintages. The wine is distinguished by its reserve and nuance, far from showy styles. It delivers vibrant energy, black and blue fruits, notes of graphite, tobacco, violet and spice, carried by a classically built structure, silky tannins and refreshing acidity that confers length and ageing potential. Recent outstanding vintages include 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016 and 2015, with cellaring potential of 15 to 25 years.

Le vigneron

Château Moulin Saint Georges is now directed by the eleventh generation of the Vauthier family: Pauline, Édouard and Constance, children of Alain Vauthier who worked within the family estates from the 1970s onwards. Pauline Vauthier, a qualified oenologist and accomplished equestrian, holds the position of technical director across the family's six vineyards. It is she who, with her intimate knowledge of the parcels, blends and winemaking processes, puts her signature on the wines. Alongside her, Édouard Vauthier, after experience in the Philippines and Shanghai in wine distribution, joined the estate in 2019 and oversees commercial strategy and négociant relations. Constance Vauthier, a trained equine veterinarian, joined the family venture in 2020 to embrace management, accounting, legal matters and development. Together, they form a complementary trio united around shared values: rigour, simplicity and discretion. The estate benefits from the same care and culture of excellence as Ausone, with teams rotating across all properties to ensure identical attention to each cru.
