Exceptional Terroir and Sustainable Viticulture
Chateau Du Moulin Noir benefits from the unique clay-limestone soils of the Montagne viticultural area, which provide excellent drainage and mineral expression. The vineyard spans 6.80 hectares with a plantation density of 6,000 vines per hectare, encouraging concentrated fruit and enhanced quality.
The estate follows sustainable viticulture practices and holds HVE 3 certification, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. Throughout the growing season, the vineyard team carefully monitors grape ripeness through tasting, quantity assessment, and detailed analytics on each plot. In addition, both manual and mechanical harvesting methods ensure optimal fruit quality at harvest time.
Traditional Winemaking with Precision
Every step of the winemaking process is designed to preserve the authenticity and richness of the grapes. After meticulous plot and crop selection, the grapes undergo total destemming before fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Fermentation takes place at an average temperature of 28°C, allowing the wine to develop deep color, rich aromas, and refined tannins.
To enhance extraction and complexity, the wine receives three pump-overs daily during fermentation. Depending on tasting evaluations, the wine may undergo one to three rackings before fining. Furthermore, long vatting contributes additional depth and structure, creating a beautifully balanced final product.
French Oak Maturation and Tasting Experience
The wine matures for 12 months in French oak casks, with 20% to 25% of the barrels replaced annually depending on the vintage. This aging process adds subtle notes of vanilla, toasted spice, and elegant oak integration without overpowering the fruit character.
In the glass, Chateau Du Moulin Noir Montagne-Saint-Emilion reveals intense aromas of blackberries, ripe plums, cherries, and delicate hints of cedar and spice. On the palate, it delivers smooth tannins, remarkable balance, and a long, satisfying finish. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roast lamb, aged cheeses, and classic French cuisine.
