Castle, view of the park

About this activity

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.
