Château Moulin du Prieur 2019
Flavor Profile
The good times keep rolling for Bordeaux fans. As critic Jeb Dunnuck writes, 2019 “is a beautiful, incredibly high-quality vintage for Bordeaux that will certainly be included in the list of recent great vintages ... the wines show beautiful ripeness.”
And we’re here to give you a taste of this blockbuster year, with this boutique find from an estate nestled in the heart of Bordeaux, just five miles from the medieval town of Saint-Emilion (home to some of the region’s finest wines).
Château Moulin du Prieur is run by father-son team Didier and Arnaud Merit, the grandson and great-grandson of the estate’s founder, Emmanuel Merit. Their sunny, south-facing slopes yield wonderfully ripe grapes – Merlot lends velvety, black plum character, Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine structure and cassis notes, and Cabernet Franc adds a complex earthy-spice character.
Made in a smooth, meant-to-be-enjoyed-young style, Château Moulin du Prieur will shine alongside beef roasts, hearty pasta dishes, or a plate of charcuterie and firm cheeses. Secure your share today.
