Tasting notes
All Merlot from a tiny parcel on the upper plateau, the 2019 Château Moulin Du Cadet reveals a healthy purple/plum hue to go with a brilliant nose of ripe black cherries, redcurrants, new leather, chalky minerality, and spring flowers. With beautifully integrated oak, medium to full body, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish, it will benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar and cruise over the following two decades. It's another brilliant vintage for this Saint-Emilion from the Lefévère family.

The 2019 Moulin du Cadet is just as compelling as it was from bottle. Ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and chocolate are front and center. This opulent, racy Saint-Émilion is a total pleasure. Proprietor Marie-Benedicte Lefévère has the magic touch here.
Classic, signature St Emilion with textured, chalky tannins that have texture, if a little roughly hewn right now. The fruits major on blackberry and blueberry, alongside tobacco and cigar box. Things slow down on the finish, stretching through the palate to balance out the exuberance. Clear oak influence but enjoyable, good quality. Tasted twice
