Château Grand Moulin is a renowned family-owned winery in the heart of the Corbières region of southern France.

Tasting Notes

Bursting with juicy, vibrant red berries and black cherry, this wine is enhanced by delicate hints of black pepper and herbal nuances. Rich and smooth, it showcases ripe tannins, perfectly balanced with a touch of black olive on the palate. Well-structured, it delivers a long, satisfying finish.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at night to maintain freshness and are 100% destemmed. Maceration occurs for up to 35 days with pigeage, allowing for optimal extraction. The wine is then aged in stainless steel vats to preserve its vibrant fruity character.
