PRÉLUDE DU GRAND MOULIN

I love wines for their delicacy and complexity, and I’m passionate about music. Prélude du Grand Moulin is a perfect blend of my family’s wine legacy and my personality. When I play my favourite piano scores, I let myself escape from my every-day job as operating director. For this special wine of Château Le Grand Moulin, I have selected with care the best notes of my vine repertoire, blended them together to my own beat in order to get a harmonious and timeless finish : the prelude of my vision of wine.
