The Producer
Château Haut-Moulin is a fourth generation family property directed by Christophe Chapron since 1992. The estate holds organic agriculture certification. Its wines are accessible and fruit forward, with complexity and minerality from ageing.
Place
The estate sits in northern Blaye on the Gironde estuary. Château Haut-Moulin Vieilles Vignes carries the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, the geographic designation printed on the bottle.
Wines
Château Haut-Moulin Vieilles Vignes is the named red bottling. It is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The name places the wine in the estate's old vine range, while Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux identifies its appellation.
Final Word
Château Haut-Moulin combines a northern Blaye address, organic certification and a Merlot led Vieilles Vignes red with silky tannins and a finish.
