Notes on the Wine
A fine, spicy nose of ripe dark fruit leads into freshness and fruit on the palate. The palate is smooth and generous enveloped with polished tannins. Pairs well with chicken.
Notes on the Producer
Founded in 1904, the property was given the name “Domaine du Grand Moulin.” With the construction of the winery at the end of the previous century, Gabriel Bruneteaux took the opportunity to build a lovely mansion in the heart of the property. In the beginning of the 1980’s, the name was changed to “Chateau Le Grand Moulin.” The great grandson Jean-Francois Reaud, replanted the available surface with noble vines, and modernized the winery. Like his great grandfather, his primary goal in life is to produce great quality wines. With a total production of approximately 15,000 cases, “Chateau Le Grand Moulin” is now exported throughout Europe and North America.
The whole property now consists of 30 hectares. One-third spreads out across a gravelled plateau favorable to the production of robust red wine. The remaining two-thirds constitute a lighter soil combining sand and clay, which produces a more subtle, fruity red wine. A few parcels offer a mix of sand and alluvium, which confers a freshness and aromatic flavor to the white wines.
