List of products by brand CHATEAU LA MOULIERE

Set on the hillside slopes above the Dordogne valley at Saint-Jean-de-Blaignac in the Gironde, Château la Mouliere covers 22 hectares under the Bordeaux appellation, on clay-limestone soils with silex. Sylvaine and Yannick Fournier took over in 2005 as the fifth generation of the family, and have since built a clear identity around both red and white wines, underpinned by a genuine environmental commitment: the château has held HVE certification since 2013. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the consistency of its vintages, the seriousness of its viticulture, and a Gold Medal won at the 2024 Concours for the 2022 vintage. A dependable, family-run Bordeaux address well worth knowing.

Château la Mouliere is one of those quietly reliable addresses in the Bordeaux appellation — a family property with deep roots on the right bank of the Dordogne, producing reds and whites that speak honestly of their terroir without fanfare.

A hillside estate in the heart of the Gironde

Located at Saint-Jean-de-Blaignac, a small commune in the Gironde department, Château la Mouliere occupies a particularly favourable position on the coteaux that overlook the Dordogne valley. This elevated, south-facing exposure ensures good ripening across the estate's 22 hectares, while the natural drainage of the slopes helps regulate vine stress during wetter seasons. The soils here are a blend of argilo-calcaire (clay-limestone) and silex — a combination that lends both structure and a certain mineral freshness to the wines, particularly the whites.

Five generations of the Fournier family

The Fournier family's connection to this land spans several generations, but it was in 2005 that Sylvaine and Yannick Fournier took over the château, bringing renewed energy and a clear long-term vision. As the fifth generation to steward this property, they have invested steadily in both the vineyard and the cellar, refining the style of the wines while preserving the character of the terroir. Their approach is rooted in precision and patience — qualities that show in the regularity of the château's releases from one vintage to the next.

HVE certification and environmental commitment

Château la Mouliere has held Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification since 2013, making it one of the earlier adopters of this French environmental standard in the Bordeaux appellation. HVE level 3 — the highest tier — requires demonstrable progress across biodiversity, plant protection, fertilisation management, and water use. For the Fourniers, this is not a marketing exercise but a reflection of how the estate has been managed for years. The certification provides our customers with a meaningful, independently verified assurance of responsible viticulture.

Grape varieties and the wine range

The estate works with the classic Bordeaux palette across both colours:

Reds: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc — producing structured, fruit-forward Bordeaux rouge with good ageing potential.
Whites: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle — delivering aromatic, fresh Bordeaux blanc with the mineral lift characteristic of silex soils.

The 2022 vintage of the red was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2024 Concours, a recognition that confirms the quality and consistency the Fourniers have worked to achieve over two decades.

Why we have selected Château la Mouliere

At Halles Quercamps, we are always drawn to family properties that combine genuine terroir expression with a clear sense of responsibility — both to the land and to the people who drink their wines. Château la Mouliere ticks both boxes. The HVE certification, held since 2013, speaks to an early and sustained commitment to sustainable viticulture. The Gold Medal at the 2024 Concours for the 2022 vintage confirms that quality has not been sacrificed in the process. And the consistency we have observed across successive vintages gives us confidence in recommending this château to our customers year after year. This is a château for the Bordeaux lover who wants honest, well-made wine from a family who cares about what ends up in the bottle. The reds pair beautifully with roast lamb or a well-aged hard cheese; the whites are a natural match for grilled fish or a simple goat's cheese tart.
