The history of Ch?teau Grand Moulin begins in 1985 when Jean-No?l Bousquet left working in a Co-op with a vision to make great wine. He set up his private cellar on the site of an old mill in L?zignan, in the heart of Corbi?res in Languedoc.
Since then, his son Fr?d?ric has taken over and offers a wide range of great Corbi?res wines, offering all the richness and diversity of the estate?s different terroirs. The Ch?teau Grand Moulin estate has over 200 plots of vines spread over 130 hectares, across 5 municipalities all within a radius of 10km.
They have been recognised for their high-quality potential and classified as Corbi?res AOC and Corbi?res Boutenac AOC. They cultivate the region's classic grapes, namely Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourv?dre, Cinsault for the red wines, and Vermentino, Grenache, and Roussanne
This delightful red blend is a classic expression of the Corbi?res appellation. The grapes used are primarily Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, all of which are perfectly suited to the region's warm climate and sun-drenched vineyards. The grapes are meticulously harvested and undergo a traditional vinification process. This ensures that the wine retains the purity of its fruit character while developing depth and complexity.
The Ch?teau Grand Moulin Grandes Vignes Rouge pours a deep red colour with alluring purple reflections. On the nose, you'll be greeted by a wave of fresh red fruits like raspberries and cherries, complemented by hints of sweet spices that add an intriguing complexity. The palate is where this wine truly shines. Here, the juicy fruit flavours come alive, offering a delightful balance between richness and elegance. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, making for a very approachable drinking experience. Subtle oak influence adds a touch of vanilla, lingering pleasantly on the finish.
