WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Haut-Moulin Vieilles Vignes 2020 is produced using grapes from mature vines. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the purity of the fruit. The wine is then aged for 12 months, with some indications of oak barrel aging. The 2020 vintage was shaped by a hot and dry summer in Bordeaux, which contributed to the concentration of the fruit. The estate practices organic farming, certified since 2011, reflecting a dedication to sustainable viticulture.
