In the mouth
The palate is well-structured and balanced, with ripe tannins providing backbone without dominating. A wine of poise and finesse, with a clean, measured finish that speaks to its provenance.
On the nose
Aromas of dark berries and cassis, complemented by cedary notes and subtle tobacco leaf. The bouquet unfolds with restrained elegance, revealing further nuance as the wine opens.
On the eye
Garnet, with the depth and clarity characteristic of fine Saint-Julien
Breeding
In French oak barrels for a period of 12 to 18 months
A natural companion to substantial meat dishes, particularly lamb. The wine's structure and acidity make it especially suited to slow-roasted preparations where the tannins can interact with rich, savoury flavours. Consider it alongside a traditional seven-hour lamb braise for a pairing of considerable harmony.

CHATEAU MOULIN RICHE
Covering 20 contiguous hectares on Garonne gravels and aeolian sands in the north-west of Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, Château Moulin Riche is a rare single-block vineyard. Founded in 1885 and acquired by the Cuvelier family in 1920, it is the only Saint-Julien wine classified Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 1932. After decades as the second wine of Léoville Poyferré, it reclaimed independence as a grand vin from the 2009 vintage. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this château for its restored identity, the precision of its Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot blend, and a terroir now fully expressed on its own terms. A Saint-Julien of real character, worth following vintage by vintage.
