Château Moulin à Vent and The Importance of Soil and Varietal

The Chateau has more than two centuries of existence, its chartreuse (french typical chateau) dates from the early nineteenth century and its winery was built in 1873. The terroir is a concentration of the Médoc gravel Garonne and the rest on a clay-limestone substrate, promoting a long and consistent maturation of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This arrangement favors the expression of powerful, elegant, and racy wines.
