Description
Located in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Moulin de la Bridane benefits from an exceptional Médoc terroir, predominantly composed of gravel soils that promote optimal grape ripening. The Clos du Meunier Cuvée reflects the estate’s craftsmanship and its commitment to classic Bordeaux balance.
Blend and Winemaking
This cuvée is crafted from a traditional Médoc blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides structure and depth, complemented by Merlot for roundness and fruit expression. Winemaking follows classic Bordeaux methods, with carefully controlled extraction to preserve tannin finesse. Barrel ageing refines the texture and enriches the aromatic profile without overpowering the fruit.
