This wine is very aromatic and juicy with rich red fruit aromas. The tannins are beautifully integrated to add a sensation of tension. The use of both old and new oak adds a spicy complexity to the palate. The finish is long and smooth.

Located in the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Moulin Riche covers 22 hectares. The vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot on soils of Garonne gravels and aeolian sands. Vineyard management techniques are performed by hand to ensure each vine is carefully tended to. The Château also focuses on sustainable viticulture reducing the use of machinery and chemical sprays so fruit retains its varietal characteristics while displaying a great sense of place.

Until 2009, Château Moulin Riche was the second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré. It was bought alongside Léoville Poyferré in 1920 by the Cuvelier family, who still own both properties today. The family apply the same rigorous standards across all their estates. Therefore, chief oenologist of Léoville Poyferré, Isabelle Davin, is also responsible for the wines of Moulin Riche.
