Château du Moulin Rouge —
Cru Bourgeois from the heart of the Médoc

Château du Moulin Rouge is located in Cussac-Fort-Médoc, nestled between the Margaux and Saint-Julien appellations—a location that could hardly be better. For 13 generations, the Pelon-Ribeiro family has cultivated 18 hectares of vineyards here on typical gravelly soils that store the day's warmth and release it slowly at night. The proximity to the Gironde estuary acts as a natural temperature regulator, protecting the vines from late frosts and extreme temperature fluctuations.

The vines are on average over 40 years old—an age at which the roots reach deep enough to extract minerality and concentration from the soil that younger vines simply cannot achieve. The blend consists of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc: a classic Médoc assemblage that maintains a balance between structure and suppleness.

As a Cru Bourgeois, the estate stands for meticulously crafted Bordeaux wines that can easily stand comparison with more famous neighbors. Environmentally friendly farming practices are not just a marketing promise, but a long-standing tradition – because the family knows that good wine begins with healthy soils.
