Château Moulin Caresse
Château Moulin Caresse has been a family estate since 1749, located 20 km east of Saint-Emilion. The Château Moulin Caresse vineyard extends over 52 hectares, 34 of which are planted with vines, 80 meters above the Dordogne valley.

The Château Moulin Caresse vineyard is divided between clay-limestone slopes and the boulbènes plateau, and faces full sun. This privileged location, together with the variety of terroirs and grape varieties, enables us to produce AOC Montravel wines that are as different as they are complementary. Managed by Jean-François Deffarge, Château Moulin Caresse 's vines are cultivated using a "lutte raisonnée" method, without herbicides, and are worked under the rows and grassed. This care and attention to detail enables Château Moulin Caresse to produce, among other things, sumptuous Montravel, a young appellation of which Jean-François Deffarge is already the best representative.

"Close your eyes and enjoy!

"Last year of organic conversion for this vintage, fermented and aged in 300L oak barrels, where Sauvignon reigns supreme. The wood is hardly noticeable in this wine, which seduces with its assertive minerality, with accents of gunflint. A tonality in harmony with a pleasant liveliness, which will work wonders with seafood, many cheeses or even a good blanquette de veau". (Le Guide Hachette 2023)

"A real treat!

"A fine star for this blend of Merlot (45%), Malbec (30%) and Cabernet Franc. After twelve months in oak, it boasts a dense, dark color and reveals an elegant nose, blending well-mixed breeding notes with floral nuances and a hint of undergrowth. Not to be outdone, the palate is structured, full-bodied and fresh at the same time, supported by pleasant tannins and good acidity, woody without excess, showing real power for the vintage and the appellation".

"A must-see

"Luckily for the estate, the Merlot (50%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Malbec that make up this cuvée, aged 18 months in barrels, were little affected by the frost. Fans of this renowned cuvée will therefore find a successor to the 2016, the superb Favorite of the previous edition. While it lacks the body and potential of its predecessor, it is appreciated for its finesse and aromatic expression, between morello cherry and well-fused roasted wood. Fresh and fragrant on the palate, it reveals mellow, vanilla-flavored tannins that are a little lively and austere on the finish". (Guide Hachette). The power of the Southwest!

"A stunning 2016 from start to finish: a seductive golden yellow color, an intense and complex nose of candied fruit, dried fruit, hazelnut and vanilla; a rich and suave palate but never heavy, a fine freshness coming in support and bringing length and dynamism. A tasty wine for a long time to come". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

"Benjamin and Quentin, the "Frangins flingueurs", have pulled out all the stops with this Périgord red, which breaks away from the house "canon" by focusing solely on Cabernet Sauvignon. "Brutal"? As the label, which echoes the cult film, suggests? Yes, if you mean color, power and density. In the glass, you'll also find ripe fruit and a hint of spice. On the palate, red fruit galore, cherry, plum and sweetness. Made for immediate consumption, this jaja could be kept". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

"Beautiful dark color with purplish highlights. Engaging nose, finely toasted, spicy, blackcurrant, plum, woody background. Supple attack, structured palate, dense, full-bodied, shy, vegetal presence still dissociated, a fine construction to be left to refine quietly." (Le Guide des Vins 2017 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

15/20 Bettane & Desseauve

This white Montavel is a fine, racy wine with a floral character. The palate is round, supple and fat, with the mineral freshness of the terroir, finely spiced, with good length and surprising freshness. 100% immediate pleasure!

Château Moulin Caresse - Magie d'Automne 2012 (Moelleux)

From a south-facing plateau of boulbènes on ferruginous clay, this light yellow moelleux has a fine, elegant nose, with hints of pear, quince and white flowers. An unctuous white that retains good freshness, rich on the palate without being syrupy, with nuances of white fruit and apricot... A lovely treat!

"Pulpy tannins on a background of black fruits, a taut, elegant structure, this wine is harmonious". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2013). A lovely structure on the palate with ripe, coated tannins, to be savored now!
