Château Moulin de LagnetGrape:80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon (13% alc.)
No herbicides or pesticides, late-picked grapes and rotation between oak cask and stainless steel vats are some of the secrets behind this wine’s quality. It is mediumbodied, with classic hints of eucalyptus and mint on the nose and intense red fruit flavours. For drinking now to 2012.
