The Story
I hail from the rolling vineyards of Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux, nestled on the right bank of the Gironde estuary. Here, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon thrive on clay-limestone soils that lend both plush texture and trademark Bordeaux structure. At Château Haut-Moulin, vines are tended with respect for tradition, yielding old-vine intensity and expressive fruit. I carry the spirit of this historic region — balanced, grounded, and welcoming — a wine shaped by both land and legacy.
Why You’ll Love Me
I greet you with inviting aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and a whisper of cedar. On the palate, I’m medium-bodied and supple, with silky tannins and bright acidity that carry lovely fruit through to a gracious finish. Notes of dark berry mingle with earthy nuances and a touch of spice, making me endlessly food-friendly and delightfully approachable. Whether you’re pairing me with dinner or enjoying me on my own, I bring warmth, depth, and a quietly confident Bordeaux flair.
