From the privileged viewpoint of the terrace, discover the specificities of Moulin-à-Vent: its granite soils, the impact of the winds blowing on the AOC and the estate, or the diversity of terroirs of which we can already see 5 on the 69. A dive into the Castle’s past immerses you in 3 centuries of history, alongside the great families who carried the estate, by faith still intact today. In the winery, we focus on the technical part: explanations of methods and choices, we decipher here the genesis of the wines, from the harvest to the aging, passing through the vaulted and centuries-old cellar of the estate. The Chapelle des Thorins then opens its doors, with 4 wines available for tasting: 3 cuvées, including 2 parcel selections from the terroirs presented at the beginning of the visit, on the current vintage, as well as a cuvée on an older vintage, to appreciate the “vintage effect” on the wines.

Produced in small quantities, these cuvées are exclusively available at the estate and illustrate the power of terroirs.
