Château du Moulin Noir
Château du Moulin Noir sits in the Libournais district of Saint-Émilion, where clay and limestone soils shape wines of structure and depth. The winery produces across the broader Saint-Émilion appellations, drawing on the region's signature blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Its Lussac-Saint-Émilion and Montagne-Saint-Émilion bottlings balance the softness of Merlot with the mineral edge of Cabernet Franc, a pairing that defines the right bank's character. Wine Spectator has rated the portfolio, with the Lussac-Saint-Émilion and L'Aube Lussac-Saint-Émilion both reaching 87.5 points. These are wines built on the terroir of their specific communes rather than the grand cru hierarchy, offering the textural complexity and aging potential that Libournais is known for.
