- Bordeaux
Château Moulin is located in the commune Entre-Deux-Mers in St Antoine du Queyre, just outside of the city of Bordeaux. They grow mostly merlot, but have small planting of cabernet sauvignon. The vineyard site is 30 years old and located on limestone-clay soil, which creates ideal conditions for growing merlot. The winery headed Frederic Petit, a young farmer making modern and approachable wines.
Profile
This is a powerful style of Bordeaux, that also retains elegance and finesse. On the palate you will find rich ripe plum, blackcurrant, ripe cherries, showcasing subtle cedar notes, with chalky tannin. We recommend settling in with some classic steak and frites, a bottle of this and your favourite movie. Voila! Match made in heaven.
Reviews
Decanter Magazine
“Poised, textured and rich, but with ample fresh charm. Lush cherry, dark plum and herbal leafy nuances on the long palate, underpinned by fine-grained tannins. An excellent wine.”
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.
