About
Rich, structured, and impeccably balanced, Moulin Riche Saint-Julien 2022 is a classic expression of this prestigious Left Bank appellation. Often considered one of Bordeaux’s hidden gems, this wine delivers the depth and refinement characteristic of Saint-Julien, yet with a modern accessibility that makes it enjoyable even in its youth. The 2022 vintage, marked by optimal ripeness and concentration, showcases the perfect harmony between power and elegance, with supple tannins and a long, expressive finish.
Tasting notes

Deep garnet-purple in color, Moulin Riche 2022 opens with an enticing bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, intertwined with notes of cedar, graphite, and crushed violets. The palate is beautifully structured, with ripe black fruit flavors complemented by hints of mocha, cigar box, and a touch of spice. Silky yet firm tannins provide excellent backbone, while a vibrant acidity ensures freshness and elegance. The finish is long and refined, leaving behind echoes of minerality and dark chocolate—a testament to its exceptional terroir.

Pairing

The bold yet polished character of Moulin Riche Saint-Julien 2022 makes it an outstanding partner for grilled ribeye with a peppercorn sauce, where the wine’s tannins complement the marbling of the meat while its dark fruit and spice notes enhance the savory flavors. It also pairs wonderfully with rack of lamb with rosemary and thyme, as the wine’s herbal undertones mirror the dish’s aromatics. For a more classic Bordeaux pairing, duck confit with a red wine reduction brings out the wine’s depth and velvety texture. Finally, a selection of aged cheeses, such as Comté or Manchego, will beautifully highlight the wine’s complexity and structure.

Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
