Bordeaux can be intimidating to new and experienced wine-drinkers alike, so we jump at any chance to expose WineCollective members to approachable, delicious wines from this historic region. Enter a new WineCollective exclusive: Château Trois Moulins (which means "three mills"), named after a nearby flour mill. Located in Haut-Médoc, and sister property to the famous Chateau Cambon La Pelouse, Trois Moulins' eponymous red is a classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a splash of Cabernet Franc.
Situated on soils that typify Haut-Médoc, with high concentrations of well-draining gravel, the vineyards of Château Trois Moulins are ideally situated for optimal ripeness of Bordeaux's three most important red grape varieties. After harvest, there's a week-long cold maceration period before the juice is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Final oak aging takes place in a range of oak barrels, of which only about 30% are new, adding subtle influence without overshadowing the fruit.
Enjoy this classic red now or over the next 5-7 years at about 18 C.
