The best wines from Fronsac

France

With just under 600 hectares planted with vines, Moulis is the smallest municipal appellation in the entire Médoc. To the south, Moulis almost borders the world-famous commune of Margaux, and to the north, the small region directly adjoins Listrac. Unlike the famous communes of the Médoc, such as Pauillac or Margaux, no châteaux were listed here on the occasion of the famous 1855 classification of the Médoc. However, this was not so much because the quality was not right at that time, but rather because many châteaux were simply not interested in it. Instead, 31 cru bourgeois were formed in 1932, some of which today are hardly inferior to the reputation of the highly classified growths, in terms of quality and reputation. The soil here consists primarily of gravel, similar to those riverbank soils where the famous classified châteaux also have their vineyards, as well as a lime-loam mixture and sand. The water drainage is usually quite excellent. Since Moulis runs from northeast to southeast on a rather narrow strip, the parcels here are located away from the riverbank. This has the advantage that the risk of frost is much less frequent in the autumn, allowing the grapes to ripen longer. The grape variety mix is broadly similar to that of the Médoc, with a slight emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon.
