ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

Gres de Boutenac comes from a different soil type than the other Grand Moulin bottlings, and instead of being fermented in barrel, it's just matured in wood. From the limestone influenced sandstone of Boutenac. Sheared by the wind, the old Carignan and Mourvèdre reveal the typicity of an exceptional terroir.

The history of Château Grand Moulin begins in 1985 when Jean-Noël Bousquet left working in a Co-op with a vision to make great wine. He set up his private cellar on the site of an old mill in Lézignan, in the heart of Corbières in Languedoc. Since then, his son Frédéric has taken over and offers a wide range of great Corbières wines, offering all the richness and diversity of the estate’s different terroirs. The Château Grand Moulin estate has over 200 plots of vines spread over 130 hectares, across 5 municipalities all within a radius of 10km. They have been recognized for their high-quality potential and classified as Corbières AOC and Corbières Boutenac AOC. They cultivate the region's classic grapes, namely Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Cinsault for the red wines, and Vermentino, Grenache, and Roussanne for the white.
