Chateau Le Grand Moulin

Though he'd rather be a musical genius, Jean-François Reaud did wonders with this estate, in the family since 1904. Dense and full of tannins, it also offers ripe fruits. Its structure and density match the intensity of the fruit, meaning the wine has a great future. With a dense aftertaste, the wine will age, so drink from 2022.

Very dark and inky colour here, opaque core with a blue-purple rim. Doesn’t give away a lot on the nose, it’s an emphasis on fruit here; dark berries like cassis and plum. No influence of oak. The palate is still young, quite raw, with pronounced tannin. High acidity. Quite dense fruitiness here with dark plum and cassis notes. It has length, it has a good grip in terms of weight and finish; it should probably develop well, but it’s still really youthful and a bit difficult to judge, so we should come back to it.
