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.

"The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Champ de Cour has a lighter bouquet than the 2022, perhaps not demonstrating the cohesion of the Les Verillats this year. The palate is nicely poised with vibrant red fruit, a silver bead of acidity, a touch of graphite and a linear, strict, whole bunch-shaped finish. This has good potential."
