Wines from the Moulis en Médoc appellation in Bordeaux
The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) Moulis-en-Médoc is located on the left bank of the Gironde 30 km northwest of Bordeaux, on a narrow strip 8 km long placed to the west between the Margaux and St Julien AOCs. Moulis owes its name to the numerous mills that existed in this commune and the appellation comprises 610 hectares of vines in the communes of: Arcins, Castelnau, Lamarque, Moulis en Médoc and part of Listrac-Médoc. Being located inland, the Moulis AOC cannot directly benefit from the influence of the river, and is therefore more sensitive to spring frost, but it benefits from excellent terroir of Garonne and Pyrenean gravels, which allows the red wines of Moulis to distinguish themselves and delight many wine lovers.
