Château Moulin Haut-Laroque: Fronsac's Hidden Gem

Discover the exceptional quality of Château Moulin Haut-Laroque, one of the finest estates in the resurgent Fronsac appellation. Situated on the clay-limestone slopes of the Right Bank, this historic Château-bottling its own wine since 1890-benefits from a high percentage of old vines, including some of Bordeaux's oldest Malbec plantings. The resulting wine is a powerful, yet elegant, expression of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Under the guidance of the Hervé family, this wine is meticulously crafted to offer depth, complexity, and a structure that promises a fantastic future in the cellar.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: A vibrant, deep garnet.
• Aroma: Rich and savoury, presenting layers of dark fruit, plum compote, and blackcurrant, underpinned by classic nuances of tobacco, fine spice, and polished oak.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied, displaying a wonderful consistency and a core of fruit concentration. The tannins are prominent but refined, leading to a long, clean finish that showcases the unique alkaline terroir of Fronsac.

The Perfect Serve

This is a serious Bordeaux that rewards decanting. Allow it to breathe for 60-90 minutes to fully integrate its complex aromas and soften the tannic frame, making it the ultimate accompaniment to classic British fare.

• Serving Temperature: 16-18°C.
• Pairing: The ideal partner for Classic Roast Beef with all the trimmings, a decadent Beef Wellington, or rich Game Pie.
