Our vineyard and wines

Located adjacent to the world-renowned Fronsac appellation, Château Vieux Moulin was once an award winning vineyard with over 30 hectares of vines. The parcel of land bought in 2018 by Iain and Marta comprised 10.5 hectares of which 8.5 were planted with merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Unfortunately, much of the vineyard was in such a poor state that it had to be removed leaving around one hectare of merlot still planted. This hectare has been carefully cultivated and reinvigorated since 2018 and during the 2022 harvest produced over 3,400 litres of AOC Bordeaux Superieur wine! We make our wine as naturally as possible and whilst we are not organic-certified we comply with as many of the organic processes as is practical. We are happy to arrange a wine tasting of our vintages from 2018 to 2022 together with those of our associate property, Château L'Eperon and to arrange a viewing of our chai which you'll find very compact and bijou! Unfortunately, 2023 and 2025 saw our vineyard succumb to the ravages of mildew which shrivels the grapes to nothing and the quality of 2024 was not up to our standards so there sadly won’t vintages from these more recent years – blame global warming!
