"Coming from a tiny 2.85-hectare vineyard purchased by the Lefévère family in 2015, the 2021 Château Moulin du Cadet is all Merlot (the vineyard is 100% Merlot as well) that will spend 16 months in 70% new barrels. Pulled from roughly 85% of the production, it offers a deep purple hue to go with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, crushed violets, and hints of chocolate, with subtle background oak. Nicely concentrated on the palate, with terrific balance and the vintage's elegance and purity front and center, it's going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet have 15+ years of longevity." 94 pts Jeb Dunnuck
