A wine with berry, hazelnut and mineral character. Medium to full body with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Very fine for this vintage. Needs another two to three years to open.

Chateau MOULIN RICHE expresses its own personality with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Supple tannins make the wine more approachable in its youth.

We have just made an assembly. You saw what it represented an assembly; it’srelatively simple. In fact we take samples of lots separated who each have a personality and we try to marry them. So it’sas simple as a wedding and it’scomplicated as a wedding at the same time, because you have to find the right synergies. We have lots of elements, we can put them together, it never gives the same result at the end.

The role that I have, and that we all have because you have seen that it is a team effort – even if no one in the end disputes when I find that we have the right blend – but it’sstill a team effort, so our role is to try to find the potential of each wine and the potential that each wine is capable of bringing to this blend, which will in fact be the identity of the property in a given vintage.
