Overview

From the privileged point of view of the terrace overlooking the appellation, discover the specificities of Moulin-à-Vent: the diversity of its soils, the importance of the wind, the richness of its terroirs. Immerse yourself in the history of the Château and its 3 centuries of history, alongside the great families who carried the estate by strength of faith, still intact today. In the winery, we focus on the technical part and we decipher the genesis of wines, from the harvest to the aging that takes place in the vaulted cellar of the estate. A visit through the estate’s emblematic vine, the Clos de Londres, marks the highlight of the visit. It is indeed on this plot that the most ambitious adventures began! Let's then taste 5 cuvées, including 3 selections of plots and the micro-cuvée, from the vine just visited. Produced in small quantities, these cuvées are exclusively available at the estate and illustrate the power of terroirs.
