Chateau les Vieux Moulins | Blaye

In the vines

At present, the property is comprised of 20 hectares of uniquely red vines, which are part of the controlled appellation Blaye côtes de Bordeaux. The make-up of the vines is classical for Bordeaux’s right bank region, being 80% Merlot, 13% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet-Franc, a variety which we are looking to develop. We have a large palette of terroirs, which come from soils which range from sandy clay, through to limestone clay and types of gravel.

In the cellar

We take care to collect only the grapes which are: healthy, in the correct stage of phenolic maturity, and which are aromatically complete. Consequentially, our work in the vat house is simple and rests in line with the duties of organic agriculture. We vinify with as little direct involvement as possible.
