Château du Moulin-à-Vent
Champ de Cour
Champ de Cour is located on a slight slope between the hills of the windmill and of Fleurie, with an eastern exposure, sheltered from the winds. The granite surface rocks force the roots to dig down deeply to seek their nutrients. Its clay-rich soil contains five minerals, giving the wine its unique character.
Exclusively coming from the terroir 'Champ de Cour' over 3.285 hectares, located at the bottom of the slightly sloping granitic mount where the historical windmill stands at 220m in elevation.

"This wine provides a window into the best of Moulin-à-Vent. Black olive, boysenberry and raspberry puree open on the nose followed by mushroom and forest floor. The wine is earthy with a developed midpalate."
