FT Chateau Moulin Riche 2017 - Saint-Julien

Château Moulin Riche has been known for a long time as the «little brother» of Château Léoville Poyferré (2nd Grand Cru Classé) and is elaborated with vines from the same domain. But, since 2009 it has taken back its independence to be the château it already was before as it has even been recognized «Exceptionnal Cru Bourgeois» in 1932. Château Moulin Riche is like Léoville Poyferré, a property of the Cuvelier family and being so, benefits from the care and expertise of the Grands Crus Classés.

This wine is full, juicy and greedy with red fruits aromas. The tanins are supple and give a beautiful sens of tension. The finish is both long and beautiful.
