Chateau Moulin Riche 2013 - Saint-Julien

Recognized since a long time for its quality, Château Moulin Riche obtained the distinction of cru bourgeois exceptionnel in 1932. Originally, this wine comes from a part of Château Léoville Poyferré’s vineyard. From 2009, the plots were separated to create a different domain, the Château Moulin Riche. Always held by the Cuvelier family, also owner of Château Léoville Poyferré, it benefits from the same expertise as this Classified Growth in its elaboration.

« Introduced by beautiful aromas of fruits in the nose, it offers
a very attractive and well contrived mouth. A sophisticated and
creamy wine.»
