WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Moulin-Borie 2015 is produced using traditional Bordeaux winemaking techniques. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures (27-29°C) with moderate pump-overs to manage extraction. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and structure. While specific details on vineyard management, sustainability, or innovative techniques are not provided, the process is overseen by the experienced winemaking team of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, aiming for elegance and approachability.
