Tasting note
With a vibrant purple colour, Moulin d'Issan has ripe, expressive mulberry and pomegranate aromas, as well as suggestions of oyster shell, seared steak and toasted oak. In the mouth, it is soft, silky and succulent yet dry, savoury and refreshing. An absolutely delicious, classic Bordeaux that is ready to drink now and over the next 1-2 years.
Viticulture
Right of the path to Château d’Issan, closest to the Gironde Estuary, lie our Bordeaux Supérieur AOC plots. The clayey limestone soil perfectly suits the Merlot grape, which uniquely makes up 90% of this Médoc blend. The wine is named after the historic 17th-century windmill ruins standing in the heart of the vineyard.
Vinification
Fermentations are done traditionally with very soft pumping-over to respect the liveliness and the structure of the fruit. 3 weeks of maceration followed by malolactic fermentation allowed us to put the wine in French oak barrels mid-November.
Food Match
Best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, stewed and grilled dishes.
