Critic tasting note: (2000 vintage) "A quick splash decant was all this beauty needed to discover its rich, ripe, full-bodied, concentrated and ready to go character. The wine is supple, deep, dark and as I mentioned, for a 2000, it’s delivering a lot of pleasure with its multiple layers of lusciously-textured fruit. Most of the tannin has melted away allowing this stunner to shine. 96 Points" - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Dispersed over 80 hectares of Saint-Julien and split into several groups, our vineyard reflects all the richness and diversity of the appellation. Within this, to the northwest of the appellation, are the 20 hectares of Chateau Moulin Riche, forming a single block for a unique expression of the terroir. Planted Grape Varieties: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Average Vine Age 38 years.

Once the grapes arrive at the vat house, they are sorted twice: first by hand on tables before destemming, then a second time by optical sorting machine before crushing to eliminate any vegetal matter. Pre-fermentation cold macerations for about a week. From 2018: non-saccharomyces yeast is added to the must, thus eliminating the traditional use of SO2 at this stage. Pump-overs are carried out daily for each of our tanks until the end of alcoholic fermentation.

The 2000 Bordeaux vintage was brilliant.
The winter was mild but a warm, wet spring created a fleeting problem with mildew. However, from July onwards, a spectacular summer dominated with hardly any rain until mid-September when the heavens opened, although it was l...
