Visit and tasting Private visit
Available in: French,  English
From the privileged point of view of the terrace overlooking the appellation, discover the specificities of Moulin-à-Vent: the diversity of its soils, the importance of the wind, the richness of its terroirs.
Then immerse yourself in the history of the Château and its 3 centuries of history, alongside the great families who carried the estate by force of faith, still intact today.
In the cuvage, we focus on the technical part and we decipher the genesis of our wines, from the harvest to the maturing which takes place in the vaulted cellar of the estate. A passage through the emblematic vineyard of the estate, the Clos de Londres, marks the high point of the visit. It is indeed on this plot that our most ambitious adventures began!
We then taste 5 cuvées, including 3 plot selections and our micro-cuvée, from the vines just visited. Produced in small quantities, these cuvées are exclusively available at the estate and illustrate the power of our terroirs.

About the host

Reference domain since 1732, Château du Moulin-à-Vent takes place in the heart of the eponymous appellation. Nestled in the middle of the vineyards, it houses a Chapel in its heart. Located on the emblematic terroir of "Thorins" from which it inherits its name, it is the former crossroads of the hamlet, and was integrated into the property at the end of the 19th century.

What better place than this place, steeped in the history of the terroirs of the appellation, to live a unique Moulin-à-Vent experience? The 23 localities worked by the estate are within a radius of 300m around the Chapel: each of them is expressed in our plot cuvées. Available for tasting, they allow you to grasp the essence of the Moulin-à-Vent terroirs, through their nuances and depths.

La Chapelle is also a unique and rare opportunity to taste more mature wines. Convinced that time does a good job, we keep part of each harvested vintage in the cellars of the Château, witness to the history of the estate and its evolution. A few bottles of these older vintages are available at La Chapelle.

Finally, La Chapelle offers a complete immersion in the life of the estate. The visits lead the curious from the adjoining vineyards to the centuries-old cellar; Passing through the doors of the vat room, you may meet the cellar master and witness the development of our wines, enhanced by fine and delicate vinification and aging methods.
