Chateau Tour du Moulin Les Terres Rouges Fronsac 2022
Chateau Tour du Moulin Les Terres Rouges Fronsac 2022
Bordeaux's Fronsac wines are famed for their power and intensity, and the Chateau Tour du Moulin 'Les Terres Rouges' 2022 delivers this beautifully. Very deeply coloured, with a nose of plums, black cherries, purple flowers and star anise, in the mouth it's full, youthful, well-fruited and satisfying. While it will develop in bottle over the coming years, it's such a joy now with dishes such as sausages, lasagne, pizza or a Sunday roast, it's hard to resist it.

Taste
There’s real precision here: a focused nose of blackberry, damson and a touch of graphite. The warm end to the growing season in 2022 has given the wine a plush, medium to full-bodied palate, but it never tips into excess. Tannins are beautifully integrated, giving structure without grip, and the fruit – ripe but not overblown – carries through to a long, velvety finish. A Fronsac with both charm and backbone.
About the Producer
Set high on the windswept plateau and steep, red clay slopes above the Isle valley, Château Tour du Moulin was on the brink of vanishing when Josette Dupuch and her son Vincent took the reins in 1987. What followed was a quiet resurrection. Over the last three decades, Vincent – whose early career included stints with Right Bank royalty like Jean-Claude Berrouet at Pétrus – has expanded the estate from a single hectare to seven, gradually coaxing the vines back to life. The terroir is textbook Fronsac: chalk and clay on the plateau, Pomerol-like in its structure, and iron-rich red soils on the slopes, lending a spine of elegance to the ripe, supple fruit. It’s a vineyard – and a winemaker – that tells a story of perseverance, precision and a deep respect for the land.
