The Estate
Located on the heights of Lussac in the South-West of France, Château Moulin de Grenet has been owned by Nicole Roskam-Brunot et Fils since 1970, also owner of Château Cantenac. The Roskam family's expertise is expressed in each of its bottles.
The terroir
The Château Moulin de Grenet vineyard is located on one of the highest points of the Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation, all around an old mill dating from 1711. Its sunshine and its clay-limestone soil give the wine its personality.
The grape variety
Merlot is the main grape variety in this Lussac Saint-Emilion. It is a red grape variety with small black berries that is particularly popular in Saint-Emilion on fresh, clay-limestone soils. Cabernet-Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux and it is in Saint-Emilion that it offers its most beautiful range of aromas.
The wine
This Lussac Saint-Emilion is a generous wine with a beautiful ruby red color. It draws its personality from its unique terroir and the talent of the Roskam-Brunot family. Its nose is attractive and offers aromas of fruit and spices. Its mouth is round and juicy and the finish very expressive. It will be enjoyed with a braised duck leg, a beef fillet with vegetables or a tiramisu.
