Château du Moulin-à-Vent Champ de Cour Moulin-à-Vent

Champ de Cour sits at the bottom of the hill below the windmill that gives Château du Moulin-à-Vent its name. The top soil is made of alluvium and clearer colored clay. Deep and heavier than in the rest of the appellation, it retains more water which scarcely stops the ripening process.

20% destemmed, pumped-over during cold prefermentation soak and at the end of fermentation to increase roundness and finesse. The cap was puched down at the beginning of fermentation with 21 days extraction to bring out the full potential of the terroirs. A year months, 100% French oak barrels then four months in stainless steel tank before bottling, medium toast, oak chosen from the Allier forests. Taransaud and François Frères, to bring out the wine’s signature aromas and tannins. The origin, grain and toast intensity are chosen according to the characteristics of the vintage.
