Château Le Grand Moulin

Cold maceration according to grape quality. A slow start to alcoholic fermentation with pumping over 2 or 3 times a day followed by deles- tage. Three weeks’ gentle maceration at a temperature of 22°C. Aged in cement vats.

The colour is concentrated and youthfully radiant. A fine, spicy nose and ripe dark fruit precedes a supple, soft attack that leads into freshness and fruit. The palate is smooth and generous, enveloped with polished tannins.

Chicken with spices.

Cold racked between 12 to 48 hours and aged on lees to give it unctuosity and roundness.

Bright and a beautiful, fairly pale gold in colour. The nose is typical of Sauvignon, and marked by citrus notes. The supple, beautifully fresh palate leads to magnificent aromatic maturity in the finish. This wine is fresh yet generous, with the complexity of very ripe Sauvignon.

Smoked salmon.

Cold maceration according to grape quality. A slow start to alcoholic fermentation with pumping over 2 or 3 times a day followed by delestage. Three weeks’ gentle maceration at a temperature of 22°C. Aged in 225 litre French oak barrels (one third new barrels) without racking, in an anaerobic environment to preserve a maximum of fruit.

This blend includes Merlot and two Cabernets. Deep purple in colour. Pleasant aromas of confit dark fruit with caramelised, spicy notes. The palate is elegant, underpinned by pronounced yet entirely unaggressive tannins that emphasise a long, complex finish.

Prime rib of beef.
