Lovers of traditional Bordeaux, take note. Château Tour du Haut-Moulin is the kind of discovery that makes you want to stock your wine rack – or even your cellar.
\n\n
The estate is nestled in the heart of Bordeaux’s prestigious Haut-Médoc, alongside some of the region’s most celebrated names, where bottles often fetch triple figures. Its Cru Bourgeois status isn’t just a label – it’s a seal of quality, earned every five years. As expert wine writer Robert Parker put it, it’s a stamp of “outstanding value and quality”.\n\n
From the triumphant 2022 vintage, this wine shows the hallmarks of a long summer of glorious sunshine. It blends top parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a dash of Petit Verdot, then is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels for added depth and smoothness.

You’ll taste the quality from your very first sip. Expect aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar and spice leading to a palate rich with the same dark fruit, gentle tannins and layered notes of liquorice, mineral and dark chocolate that lead to a long and elegant finish.

Approachable now but with the potential to age gracefully for a decade or more, Château Tour du Haut-Moulin is Bordeaux that tastes far beyond its price tag.
