Château Tour du Haut Moulin Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc

Between Margaux and Saint-Julien, in the heart of the Haut-Médoc, lies Château Tour du Haut Moulin — a classic Cru Bourgeois that shows what this appellation can do: structured red wines with real depth and staying power.

The cuvée of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in almost equal parts undergoes a long maceration before it matures in barriques. This combination ensures fullness through the Merlot portion and the characteristic frame of the Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the glass, the wine glows in brilliant ruby red. On the nose, it opens with red fruits, ripe blackberry, and a fine roasted wood note from barrique aging. On the palate, cassis and blackberry follow, the tannins are strong but well-integrated — an expression of a successful maturation period in the barrel. The finish is long and shows the typical minerality of the Médoc gravels.

James Suckling awarded 92 points for the 2015 vintage.
